Supergrass have today announced a 20th-anniversary edition of their critically acclaimed fifth studio album, ‘Road to Rouen,’ set for release via BMG on 3rd October.
To commemorate its 20th anniversary, this expanded reissue of ‘Road to Rouen’ will include previously unreleased studio track, ‘Don’t Leave Me Alone’. The dreamy, wistful song is out today, listen below.
The reissue features unheard live recordings and the entire album has been fully remastered for its 2025 release. It will be available digitally, on a Gatefold 2LP Petrol and Forest Green vinyl with printed inner sleeves and a 2CD digisleeve, both physical formats accompanied by a booklet with liner notes written by Mark Radcliffe.
Speaking on the release, Mick Quinn said “From a lost winter in the French countryside we attempted an experimental, uplifting record far outside our comfort zone. Road To Rouen became a compact joy that still holds a cherished place in our hearts. Vive la différence.”
Originally launched on 15th August, 2005, Road To Rouen reached #9 on the UK Top 10 chart. Marking a significant shift for the band, showcasing a more reflective and introspective sound with longer, orchestral arrangements.
Consisting of Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn, Danny Goffey and Rob Coombes; Supergrass are one of the most important bands to emerge during the 1990s. Formed in Oxford in 1993, their accomplishments include several million record sales, 6 top 10 albums, 10 top 20 singles and accolades from the Brit Awards, Q Awards, NME Awards, and Ivor Novello Awards.
