Speaking about the new album, front man Luke Pritchard said:

[quote style=’1′ cite=”]“To me this album is about pure expression. Even the way we made the album felt fresh. We were really listening to what was going on around us, picking up ideas. The whole thing was much more natural.”[/quote]

The new album is also set to feature the track  ‘Down’; which was released digitally earlier this month. As part of the bands comeback, they will embark on a 4 date UK tour; playing shows in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Birmingham during May; tickets for all the dates are on sale now.
