Prior to their show at The Dom, which had sold out within a week of going on sale, the song had already popularised across the UK, and was even playlisted by BBC 6 Music.
Speaking on the release, lead singer Paul Banks said: “This version of the Man who seeks pleasure is particularly special to us.
"It’s from the last show on our debut headline tour and carries with it a lot of raw energy. While we love ‘The Man Who Seeks Pleasure’ which features on our EP, we wanted to release a version with the full band arrangement. We’re really excited to be able to share it with you now.”
At this year's Great Escape Festival in Brighton, the song was dubbed a standout performance. NME highlighted the 'goosebump-inducing vocal' and added that it might well have been 'the performance of the weekend'.
The Man Who Seeks Pleasure (Live from London) is out today on ISLAND Records.
