Matt Hall, Bass player said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOur guitarist, Mickey Coles, did all the producing, mixing and mastering and we think he\u2019s come up with something that sounds really fresh without compromising the excitement of the original recordings.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A decade on, Little Comets are now not so little, but the original album hasn\u2019t aged a day, sounding fresh and relevant in a time where music has moved forward huge amounts, yet managing to represent its era perfectly. This album could quite easily be the soundtrack to a sunny afternoon knocking around Camden or the sort of thing Yannis Philippakis listens to on a Sunday evening, particularly track \u2018Isles\u2019, undoubtedly the gem of the album.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, the trio have plenty to celebrate; four albums in seven years, an upcoming 16-date tour and a recent support slot of one Sam Fender no less, and whilst they may not have taken over the world, in an increasingly disposable music industry they\u2019ve survived, and done so by developing their style, playing to their strengths and releasing consistently exciting music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u2018In Search of Elusive Little Comets\u2019 vinyl goes on re-sale today 1st October and can be ordered from their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlecomets.bigcartel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official webstore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, the band will be touring the album along with lots of new songs on their autumn UK Tour (dates below) with tickets available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myticket.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OCTOBER:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>25th LIVERPOOL Arts Club<br \/>\n26th CARLISLE Brickyard<br \/>\n27th DUNFERMLINE P J Molloys<br \/>\n28th GLASGOW King Tuts<br \/>\n30th LEEDS Wardrobe<br \/>\n31st BIRMINGHAM O2 Academy 2<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOVEMBER:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1st BATH Komedia<br \/>\n2nd CARDIFF The Gate<br \/>\n4th LEICESTER O2 ACADEMY 2<br \/>\n5th PORTSMOUTH Wedgewood Rooms<br \/>\n6th BRIGHTON Haunt<br \/>\n7th OXFORD O2 Academy 2<br \/>\n9th NOTTINGHAM Rescue Rooms<br \/>\n13th LONDON Scala<br \/>\n15th NEWCASTLE Boiler Shop<br \/>\n17th MANCHESTER Gorilla<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block;
