The dates are split into two stints either side of a UK headline tour. Tickets for the US shows are available in the pre-sale here while remaining tickets for the UK shows are on sale here.
Back To The Water Below was produced by band members Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher at their home studio in Brighton. In a statement, Thatcher said, “I think this record was about letting the ideas take us where they needed to go. If there was a song that was calling us to do something that wasn’t typically what we’re known for, that’s where we’re going to go. The songs are in charge and if that means having a record that’s quite varied that’s what we’re going to go for, rather than trying to shoehorn everything into the same world. As a result, we’ve made a record that’s a bit of a rollercoaster. It’s everything we could do.”
