Ahead of that highly anticipated release, he will be giving away this track along with three others next week, featuring remixed songs by K-Os, Bon Iver and Metronomy. The collection is called Odd Renditions. Dope!

Pre-order People Hear What They See.

We choose one of favourites from John Talabot’s stunning fin album.
