The York band will support their new album with a UK tour this October, which will call in Cardiff, London, Nottingham, Stoke, Wolverhampton, Glasgow, Middlesbrough and Manchester.
’A Matter Of Time’, the follow-up to 2017’s ’Instant Pleasures’, is due for release on January 12 through Cooking Vinyl. The record was produced by Grammy Award-winner Youth, aka Martin Glover, at El Mirador Studios in Andalucia, Spain. Mixing was handled by Cenzo Townshend.
It sees the band’s core members — vocalist Rick Witter, guitarist Paul Banks and bassist Tom Gladwin — joined by drummer Rob ‘Maxi’ Maxfield (Audioweb) and keyboardist Tim Willis (Ian Brown). Banks said:
“For this album, we took a nostalgic journey back to our roots, immersing ourselves in the records and sounds that ignited our passion for songwriting at the tender age of 12. The influences of bands like The Smiths, R.E.M., U2, Simple Minds, The Cure, and Duran Duran permeate every note, making it a heartfelt homage to those cherished times. It embodies the essence of rebirth, empowering individuals to embrace their true selves without inhibition. With utmost conviction, we declare this as the pinnacle of our musical endeavours - the record we’ve always yearned to create."
As a preview, they’ve shared the first single, Kissing California, an uplifting pop-rock track that feels familiar yet fresh. Head below to check it out, alongside the record’s artwork and tracklist, which features collaborations with Peter Doherty, Laura McClure, and Rowetta.
