86TVs have announced their debut EP.

The band, comprising former Maccabees duo Hugo and Felix White, their younger brother and solo artist Will White, and drummer Jamie Morrison, will drop 'You Don’t Have To Be Yourself Right Now' on January 26.

It was recorded at the band's own Olympic Studios, with additional sessions at The Bunker at 13, which is owned by producer Stephen Street, who also co-produced all four songs with the quartet. It'll feature their 2023 singles Worn Out Buildings and Higher Love, alongside new tracks Spinning World and Dreaming. The group commented:

"'You Don't Have To Be Yourself Right Now' is our first ever group of songs to sit together in a collection. It feels good. It’s a fitting place to start - three of us brothers writing lyrics from different perspectives, lots of group singing, guitars, drums, pianos and about six or seven years of our lives all wrapped up in there!"

Having first played shows in 2022 as special guests to Jamie T, 86TVs will kick off 2024 with a gig in Edinburgh on January 30 as part of Independent Venue Week. Following that, they'll embark on a headline UK and Ireland tour in late February. Tickets are on sale now.

'You Don't Have To Be Yourself Right Now' tracklist:

1. Worn Out Buildings
2. Higher Love
3. Spinning World
4. Dreaming
