With Love and Squalor is the major label debut album from rock band We Are Scientists. It was released in the United Kingdom in October 2005 on Virgin Records and charted at No. 43, with a large cult following which enabled it to after nearly 6 months of release, gain a gold certification by the BPI in 2006. The album sold an average of 4,166 copies each week before it got the certification. The album title is derived from a J.D. Salinger short story, “For Esmé – with Love and Squalor”, which was originally published in The New Yorker and subsequently in Nine Stories, a compilation of Salinger’s short stories. 2025 is the albums 20th anniversary, for this the band have curated this 2LP expanded edition with the 2nd LP made up of non album tracks, B-sides, live and acoustic tracks. This also features unseen images from the bands archive, its pressed on LP1 Pink & LP2 Red vinyl. The band will be embarking on a mini winter UK tour to celebrate the milestone.
