‘Blush’ follows on from 2020’s ‘Toner’ and is due for release 14 October on Ninja Tune.

The album is being previewed with the haunting, rave-ready ‘Hero Man’ – check it out below.

“We wanted to surprise people and do something more than just get across how we sound at a gig,” said drummer Louis Satchell of ‘Blush’. “It’s quite an anxious record sometimes that is relating to mental health issues and carries within it the anxiety of making an album. It’s been a rocky ride but we always pick ourselves up.”

“This album is definitely exploring who we are as people,” vocalist Josh Baxter added. “We’ve all had this personal growth and the album is about us allowing us to be ourselves more and being comfortable with that.”
