It comes after a period of transformation for the band. In 2022, two members of their initial line-up left, prompting vocalist and keyboardist Egg Moore and bassist James Middleton to enlist uni pals guitarist Jacob Maguire and drummer Nathan Carroll to join them. Thrown in the deep end, their first summer of shows in this formation included gigs at Glastonbury and Green Man festival.

You can hear this change in the music, too. While the album does miss the Disclosure-esque bounce of tracks like 2021’s ‘Can’t’ Stop’, it’s undeniably still an album to dance to. Working with renowned producer David Wrench (The xx, Frank Ocean), they’ve expanded their sound: percolating synths, lithe beats and Foals-style wiry guitar licks are paired with ethereally beautiful arrangements, intriguing production and poppy hooks, taking their music in a darker direction.
