The Answer are set to return later this year with new single Spectacular, available from August 5, followed by a new studio album ‘New Horizon’ on September 30.
 Since their third studio album 'Revival' in late 2011, the band instigated a major shakeup in their circumstances and with new management, live booking agents and with new record label on board, late 2012 saw them enter the studio with ex-Little Angels vocalist Toby Jepson at the production helm. The new record, 'New Horizon' will be their fourth studio album.
To shorten the wait for the upcoming album, The Answer are making available the single Spectacular which features an exclusive radio mix of the song as well as an acoustic version of the album title track New Horizon available on 7” vinyl and an acoustic version of the song Speak Now available on the digital release.
Fans have the chance to purchase a rare and strictly limited vinyl single of Spectacular released as a Sky Blue Vinyl 7" and a Green Vinyl 7", both exclusively available via napalmrecords.com.
The band were also honoured and privileged that the late Storm Thorgerson and his team designed the artwork for the new album/single and Storm was working on the album cover design just before his sad passing. In a statement released by Storm Studios, they said: "Never one for looking back or resting on his laurels Storm always got a thrill from working with young bands and from the idea of 'newness' in general. In his last few months Storm and the Storm Studios team threw ourselves wholeheartedly into many new projects and New Horizon was one of the last covers we designed together. As is our usual modus operandi, we interrogated the band at length about their music and lives, and listened to the album on repeat for a month. Our final designs were submitted to The Answer very shortly before Storm died. The image itself came from our thoughts about endings and new beginnings, very poignant for all concerned."
