Today Noisey premiered the band’s new track, Strange Or Be Forgotten, the second single from the upcoming album, Volcano (out March 3rd). Calling it “truly sublime” they wrote:

Beats 1 then premiered the track as a World Record on Zane’s show with first plays subsequently rolling out on EgoFM (Germany), 3FM (Holland), P3 (Denmark) and Radio 3 (Spain).

The band’s live dates for 2017 kick off in the UK and Europe later this month before they head to America as headliners of the Desert Daze Caravan, passing through Austin for SXSW, and then returning to home shores for a 20 date headline tour. Full list of dates below.
