Anathema have shared Springfield, the first track from their forthcoming new studio album 'The Optimist'.
The band eleventh full length is due for release on June 9 through Kscope. Speaking about the new track, co-founder Daniel Cavanagh says:
"Here we present the song Springfield, it’s actually the song that closed our unforgettable Wembley gig with Opeth and it seemed to be a track that just fell into place without much effort. It seemed to do itself. The song forms part of a narrative that runs through 'The Optimist' album, it’s a narrative that begins where A Fine Day To Exit left off. The album is a journey. The songs are ambiguous. There is no right or wrong way to take them. Make of them what you will."
The band will follow the release with sets at various European festivals including Download in the UK on June 11. They also have a European headline tour with special guests Alcest lined up in the autumn, following two shows in Ireland in September.
Anathema Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows
