Dengue Fever have been invited by Peter Gabriel's Real World to be one of the chosen artists, and their Society of Sound album will be available as a glorious high quality lossless digital download for one month beginning on June 24. B&W are a global leader in high-end speakers and audio systems and their passion for sound make them a natural partner for Real World in the pursuit of outstanding music from all corners of the world.
