MiXology (volume 1)
About this album
On May 2, 2025 the MiXology (volume 1) album hits the streaming services. Vinyl (500 copies) and CD versions are released via Domino Records on August 8.
It is a companion piece for his Mercy and POPtical Illusion albums, with remixes and a few tracks that did not the make the cut for those albums.
Of particular interest is the inclusion of Long Way Out of Pain, a new song that was played during his European tour this year. Note: a different mix of Invention of Language can also be found as a bonus track on the Japanese CD version of POPtical Illusion.
