‘The Host’ (Deluxe) is the expanded edition of Acres acclaimed latest album, set for release November 6th via Solid State Records. Bringing together the full ‘The Host’ album and their ‘What It’s Like to Feel Worthless’ EP, the deluxe edition also features a collection of new and reworked material, including their cover of HIM’s ‘Buried Alive By Love’, a ‘Bloodlust’ remix, an acoustic version of ‘Staring at the Sun’, alongside live versions of ‘Not So Different’ and ‘Built To Bleed’.
Ben adds: “‘The Host’ has always felt closely connected to the What It’s Like to Feel Worthless EP, so doing a deluxe version felt like the perfect way to bring those two worlds together and close out this era of the band. We loved the idea of putting everything into one record, but also giving people something new with the additional tracks and different versions of songs. We’ve always been into reworking our music whether that’s stripping a song back, a live version or letting it exist in a completely different way. As music fans ourselves, we’ve always loved when bands give you another side of a record you already know, so it felt right to do that with ‘The Host.’”
