About the Artist
Lyrics
There is this old woman, she lives down the road You can often find her kneeling inside of her hole And I often ask her, "Are you looking for the mother lode?" No, no, my child, this is not my desire and then she said "I'm diggin' for fire I'm diggin' for fire I'm diggin' for fire (fire, for fire) I'm diggin' for fire" (I'm diggin' for fire) There is this old man who has spent so much of his life sleeping That he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years He resides, on a beach, in a town where I am going to live And I often ask him, "Are you looking for the mother lode?" No, no, my child, this is not my desire and then he said "I'm diggin' for fire I'm diggin' for fire (for fire) I'm diggin' for fire (fire, for fire) I'm diggin' for fire, I'm diggin' for fire, fire, fire I'm diggin' for fire I'm diggin' for fire, for fire, for fire I'm diggin' for, for fire"

Remastered 4AD-era collection gets first vinyl pressing with bonus live side.

The event coincides with the band's 40th anniversary celebration in June.

Founding trio reunites with Emma Richardson, highlighting early UK support and milestones.

The track arrives ahead of their set at All Points East.

They've also shared a new single that's (kind of) about a decapitated chicken.
