The band's new single "Midnight Control" premiered today on Steve Lamacq's BBC Radio 6 show. It is slightly different to most of their other material, and sounds more like something Joe Carnall's (frontman and bassist) other band "The Book Club" would release. This is by no means a bad thing. It is just more of a "pop" song than most of their older work. The general feel of the song is pretty uplifting, though this could just be because it's their first single in almost a decade and it is most definitely a return to form.
Hopefully this new single means an album is on the way, they know now that there are plenty of people out there that would love to hear a third album and they've always been the kind of band that keep the fans in mind.
Much of their tour is now sold out but you can get tickets for a few dates here.
You can listen to the new single here (But I'd also like to recommend that you pay for it if you like it).
