Frontman Matthew said: “It was pure madness, to be honest."

Drummer Dan added: “We’re so excited for people to hear this new album! We’ve explored new genres and pushed ourselves further than ever musically.

"It will always stand out for us in our memories from our other albums as we recorded it across three cities during lockdown, and we weren’t all in the same room at the same time.”
