Everything But the Girl have announced a best-of album titled—you guessed it—The Best of Everything But the Girl. Out November 14, via Buzzin’ Fly/Chrysalis, the album 16-song record spans their 40-year-plus career, from Night and Day to Fuse. Watch a trailer and find the tracklist below.
In press materials, Tracey Thorn says of the running order, “We always liked albums that had a fast side and a slow side, so we thought we’d start with the bangers and wind down with the ballads”
Ben Watt adds, “It also makes the album run backwards in time. It gives you a sense of clubland back to bedsit, a journey that to us feels very real. And at the end, we pair the modern-day (Run a Red Light) with how we started (Night and Day).”
