PLACEBO RE:CREATED - Out now

Thirty years on, Placebo RE:CREATED sees the band return to this pivotal album with a fresh perspective. The new record features reworked and embellished versions of all ten tracks from the original album plus two bonus tracks from the original release, capturing the way these songs have evolved across decades of performance while retaining the raw spirit that defined them. Among the tracks are the era-defining singles “Nancy Boy” and “36 Degrees”, songs that helped establish Placebo’s reputation for fearless lyricism and genre-defying sound. These new recordings amplify the urgency and attitude that made the originals resonate so strongly, while reflecting the band’s growth and experience in the years since their debut.
“We think of this record as a director’s cut. We haven’t recreated it from scratch. We went back to the original master tapes and brought 30 years of playing these songs live back into the record.
This project was about finally finishing the record, dragging it into the 21st century sonically, while preserving the integrity and the spirit of the original. It’s not about improving it, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s about completing it.
When we made the first album, we didn’t yet have the experience or the studio knowledge to fully translate what was in our heads. Over the years, the songs took on a life of their own on stage; they grew, they developed, they kind of completed themselves.
It’s a celebration of where we began, and a meeting point between who we were then and who we are now; a way of honoring that innocence, while letting the songs exist with the scale, confidence, and energy of the band we’ve become.”
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stuck between the do or die, I feel emaciated
Hard to breathe I try and try, I’ll get asphyxiated
Swinging from the tallest height, with nothing left to hold on to Every sky is blue, but not for me and you
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
[Verse 2]
Glass of petrol vodka gin, it feels like breathing methane Throw yourself from skin to skin, and still it doesn’t dull the pain Vanish like a lipstick trace, it always blows me away
Every cloud is grey, with dreams of yesterday
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
[Verse 3]
Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it Give a monkey half a brain, and still he’s bound to fry it Now the happening scene is dead, I used to want to be there too Every sky is blue, but not for me and you
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
