The new LP, which is their sixth, was recorded at Sleeper and Assault and Battery studios in west London, with long term collaborator Ed Buller. It comes out on February 18, 2022 and can be pre-ordered here.
It comes after the band released their last album, ‘Five’ in 2019. The band have shared a video, directed by Jame Arden, for the title track, which you can view below.
“We wrote this song really quickly, late one night and often the songs that come quickest are written from the gut and the heart, not with the head,” the band said in a statement.
“We wanted the melody to feel like a hymn, to give the confessional lyrics weight despite being wrapped up as a pop song.”
They continued: “It’s about accepting vulnerability as a man and knowing it’s OK to be broken. There’s never been a more pressing time to spread the message that it’s OK to not be OK.”
