The band are also hitting the road for a UK tour later this year.
Due for release on April 25 via EMI, the record, which is the band’s 13th studio LP and follow-up to 2022’s ‘Oochya!’, is available to pre-order here.
As a first taster the band have shared their soothing new single, which frontman Kelly Jones says is a song that could be describing “the restlessness in uncertainty, struggling to arrive at acceptance. A part within all of us.” You can listen to it below.
“I leave nothing for death but bones and the solitude Jester jokes / Igniting my energy and bringing me to my knees, in this 21st century, so help this sinner please / This is only one part of me – there’s always gonna be something, so what’s it gonna be today,” he sings.
Jones also shared the artwork, which he said was inspired by a painting by late French-American artist Louise Bourgeois.
“I went to New York, I visited some galleries, I saw ‘ART IS A GUARANTY OF SANITY’, a painting by Louise Bourgeois,” he said.
