The track, released last week (February 11), is a further taste of the band’s upcoming new album that’s set for release this summer.
The album is described in a statement as “an emotionally-charged reaction to a wave of tragedies experienced by brothers Al (vocals/guitars) and Tim Harrod (keyboards/vocals)”.
It continues: “The death of three family members, in particular their estranged father who they hadn’t seen in twenty years, left a void: suddenly they were forced to confront the insecurities his departure had caused head-on, while a succession of funerals forced the atheist brothers to revisit their religious upbringing.”
Speaking about the album and its themes of grief, Al said: “I always thought I’d understood this early on, but it turns out I really hadn’t.
“It happened to me when I saw my Grandmother’s embalmed body at the funeral home. It was the first time that I truly stopped believing in the childhood-taught belief that we were all going to meet again.”
The album is also described in a statement as being “full of moments which are joyous, energising and escapist”.
