“All three of us grew up listening to electronic music," says Hannah Reid of the band. "I remember buying CDs from a vending machine at fabric. When me, Dan and Dot first met we bonded over so much music - from the most obscure to the most commercial electronic sounds. Remixes from electronic artists have formed a huge part of our career and success as a band. They’ve influenced our live shows and taken us into a different space. This collection is a celebration of all the above. We are forever grateful for the impact electronic music has had on our career.”

'London Grammar - The Remixes' follows the band's 2021 BRIT-nominated album 'Californian Soil', a sellout UK-wide tour and headlining 2022's All Points East festival. This forthcoming release, a press release suggests, "will be the first time the band release a body of work dedicated to the part of their craft that has arguably formed the foundation of their success to date."
