The album has been produced by Kev Jones of Wunderhorse, and was recorded in Crouch End, London, during rare breaks from the band’s busy touring schedule.

New single ‘Tiny Feet’ shows off the group’s sweet, close-knit vocal harmonies, and opens with gentle, hushed guitar before growing in intensity.

The song’s video was directed by Xander Lewis, and you can check it out here.

The band are led by brothers Jack Lower (bass/vocals) and Harry Lower (guitar/vocals), who began sharing musical ideas after they both moved back into their family home after university.

They went on to develop what they call their “blood harmonies”, with the group drawing inspiration from songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young.

Speaking to NME in July, Jack revealed that the band had decided against releasing an EP before their first album. “We were like, we’re gonna skip the EP – let’s go for the album,” he said.

Discussing the band’s approach to songwriting, Jack added: “I think there is just a wider movement towards songs again. It’s like, we wanna tell you a story through this song, and that’s gonna be done with guitars.
