Hayden Thorpe, former singer for British art-rockers Wild Beasts, has announced a deluxe edition of his newest album, Moondust For My Diamond. The reissue, entitled Moondust For My Diamond - Every Piece of Dust, will feature four new songs and four remixes of songs from the original album. Thorpe has shared a video for a new reissue song, “Polygod.” View the Andy Little-directed video below, along with the reissue’s tracklist and cover art.

In a press release, Thorpe states: “Every Piece of Dust brings into the family all of the stray songs that were written alongside Moondust For My Diamond. I think of this release as a Director’s Cut—indulging some of the choices that went unmade up until now. There’s a mini-grief that happens when you finish off and move on from a record—you almost have to say, ‘I’m moving on forever.’ However these songs stave off execution day for some time yet.”

Moondust For My Diamond was released last July via Domino. It features the singles “The Universe Is Always Right,” which was one of our Songs of the Week, “Parallel Kingdom,” also one of our Songs of the Week, and “Metafeeling,” which also made a Songs of the Week appearance.

Thorpe’s debut solo album, Diviner, came out in 2019 via Domino.
