Following the success of their Mercury-nominated debut album, ‘Vehicles & Animals’, Athlete reached new heights with ‘Tourist’, featuring the massive hit singles “Wires” and “Half Light.” The album was both a critical and commercial triumph, climbing charts around the world and earning a #1 spot on the UK album chart.
An evocative blend of atmospheric melodies and heartfelt lyricism, ‘Tourist’ is rich in emotional depth and sonic grandeur. With its lush instrumentation, anthemic choruses, and tender moments of introspection, ‘Tourist’ captures Athlete at their most expansive and vulnerable.
Long out of print on vinyl (and now highly collectable), this Dinked Archive Edition celebrates the album's 20th anniversary with new remastering by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering. Pressed on two 140g clear vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves and an obi strip, accompanied by an exclusive black 7” single featuring ‘Lay Your Head’ and ‘Twenty Four Hours (Joshua Wong Remix). Strictly limited to 1,000 copies.
A deluxe 2CD edition is also available with sleeve notes plus B-sides and rarities, along with a standard 2LP black vinyl version.
