The Pre New was initially formed to pay tribute to Nick Sanderson of Earl Brutus and Tony Ogden of World of Twist by headlining the Queens Head Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2010.
[6][7] In 2013, the group released a remix album titled Music for Homeowners - which featured mixes by Mogwai, Public Service Broadcasting, Saint Etienne and other special guests - whilst they toured the UK.
[8] During the making of this album, the band held a remix contest[9] for the track "Cathedral City Comedown" which was won by Netherman, a songwriter from Ohio, USA.
[11] A limited edition box set was also made available containing all four formats along with a signed art print and "unique Pre New memorabilia".
[19] Perhaps due to the presence of Stuart Boreman, Gordon King and Jamie Fry, the group's sound bares some similarities to Earl Brutus however, contributions from the group's more recent members (namely Stuart Wheldon Vinny Gibson and Laurence Bray) ensure that The Pre New have a sound that remains contemporary.
