Kae Tempest - Self Titled (Acoustic) RSD 2026

Experience the raw intimacy of Kae Tempest like never before with Self Titled (Acoustic) – RSD 2026, a striking vinyl-only release that reimagines their celebrated self-titled work through stripped-back, emotionally charged acoustic arrangements.

Pressed exclusively for Record Store Day 2026, this edition captures Tempest’s lyrical force at its most exposed—where every word lands with heightened clarity and every pause carries weight. The acoustic reinterpretation pulls back the production layers to reveal the core of the songwriting: vivid storytelling, poetic precision, and an unflinching honesty that has defined Tempest’s work across music, theatre, and spoken word.

Housed on premium heavyweight vinyl, this release is designed for listeners who value depth of sound and presence. The analogue format enhances the warmth of the acoustic instrumentation, allowing subtle details—fingers on strings, breath between verses, room ambience—to come forward in a way digital formats can’t replicate.
