Everything But The Girl - Amplified Heart (2026 Deluxe Edition) Everything But The Girl
Pickup currently unavailable at Dawson Street
First released in June 1994, Amplified Heart is the seventh studio album from
Everything But The Girl - the best-selling UK duo formed in 1982 by singer
writer-musicians Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt - and arrives in a new 31-track
deluxe CD reissue edition featuring additional B-sides and extra tracks.
Amplified Heart went on to sell over a million copies and was acclaimed on
its release for its candour and affecting intimacy ("The results are, to a song,
high quality" MOJO; "Captures expertly the fragmentary confusing nature of
emotional ruction" INDEPENDENT; "Their newest album, and possibly their
best" NEW YORK TIMES)
It also contains the original version of what was to become the band's biggest hit,
Missing.
If Todd Terry's famous house remix took Missing onto the world's dance floors and
global pop charts in 1995 (#2 on US Billboard Hot 100; #1 on US Billboard Hot 100
Airplay; #3 on the UK Top 40; #1 in Canada, Germany and Italy), the original version
also remains a timeless classic and one that perhaps better reflects the enduring
appeal of the album's modern- retro hybrid of ardent folk- soul and scratchy
electronica.
The genesis of Amplified Heart was anything but easy. Written in the aftermath of
Watt's harrowing near-death experience in 1992 from a rare auto-immune disease, the
lyrics - written alternately by the duo - are raw unflinching stories of love and isolation
in extremity.
To anchor the album's heart, the pair turned in part to folk- rock legends Danny
Thompson (double bass), Dave Mattacks (drums), and engineer Jerry Boys (Sandy
Denny, REM), but also to electronic producer, John Coxon (Spring Heel Jack,
Spiritualized) to find the loops and dusty sounds that give the record much of its
underlying atmosphere. There are cameo roles from Richard Thompson on electric
guitar (25th December) and veteran string arranger Harry Robinson (I Don't
Understand Anything, Two Star).
Pitchfork awarded the album 8.6 in a 2019 reappraisal, noting the album's enduring
influence on artists that followed such as The xx and Beth Orton and concluded "The
duo's spare, pensive style never sounded more fully realized than here."
Mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road, the tracklist varies slightly from the last
deluxe edition in 2013 with a smattering of newly-unearthed live recordings and a
previously unreleased remix. The original artwork is newly laid out by John Gilsenan at
I Want Design and features full lyrics and credits, and images from the period by
fashion and documentary photographer Corinne Day and Richard Haughton
