Since bouncing to prominence eight years ago with the spirited, electro-tinged, indie-pop of their Mercury-nominated debut, ‘Vehicles And Animals’, Athlete have established themselves among the UK's finest songsmiths. The south east Londoners have sold more than a million copies of their three hit albums (the other two being 2005's ‘Tourist’ and 2007's ‘Beyond The Neighbourhood’); and topped both the UK's album and airplay charts. Last year they made ‘Black Swan’, which was a musical summary of everything Athlete have been through; the good, the bad and the ugly.
This singles collection includes fan favourites such as ‘Wires’, ‘Beautiful’, “You Got The Style”, “Hurricane”, “Superhuman Touch”, “Westside” and “El Salvador” plus many more.
In addition a new single: Backtrack will be featured on the album
