Carter USM have announced plans to play their first four albums in full and in track order at two London dates later this year.

At the Forum in Kentish Town on November 13, the duo will play 1992: The Love Album and Post Historic Monsters in the first leg of their Early Drum Machine Years double-header.

The next night at the Brixton O2 Academy, the group will play their debut album 101 Damnations and 30 Something

Jim Bob said: "Performing our first four albums in full, first track to last is something we've never done. We might even chuck in a cheeky Take That-style costume change."

Bandmate Fruitbat added: "We will be playing songs that we have never played live before and I am really looking forward to that challenge."

The early-'90s indie band first split in 1998, before reuniting in 2007 and 2008 for a number of reunion gigs.

Tickets for the new shows go on sale on Friday, February 13 at 9am.
