With suicide being the single biggest killer of men under the age of 35 in the UK, CALM is a registered UK charity which aims to reduce this and provide support for those suffering from mental illness or depression.

CALM promotes and delivers a free, confidential, anonymous helpline and website targeted at young men, though CALM will listen to anybody who needs advice or support, regardless of age, gender or geographic location.

Curated and compiled by DJ/writer Dave Haslam and with art direction by Peter Saville, Thirty One is released by The Factory Foundation on 13th February 2012, available as a CD album from stores nationwide; as a digital download and as a limited edition double vinyl.

Don't Look Indoors is eligible to win XFM's New Music Award 2012 and you can vote for it here

Up alongside such luminaries as Veronica Falls, Noel Gallagher and Yuck amongst others, it's got an outside chance of winning the award for Best British Debut, but thanks to the wonders of the alphabet, appears first in the list of albums up for the award here.

What a story it could be... Voting closes on the 27th,

We first covered 'The Model' back in July at Manchester International Festival and lots of people were asking if we were ever going to release a recording of our version.

So happy to announce that our good friend Daniel Land of The Modern Painters and riverrun has done an exclusive mash-up/remix of 'So Others May Live' and 'Exile' which will be on the bonus CD with all pre-orders of Don't Look Indoors.

Thanks, Danny! x
