The duo have also revealed that they will be performing at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday June 29 – the final night of the festival – after recently being announced as the final headliner for this year’s Latitude festival in July.

Speaking about the album, drummer Carney has said: “We are always trying to push ourselves when we make a record – not repeat our previous work but not abandon it either. On this record, we let the songs breathe and explored moods, textures and sounds. We’re excited for the world to hear ‘Turn Blue’.” In addition, the band have said that the title of the record could refer to a number of things, those being: “A: Suffocation B: Sadness C: Numbness from extreme cold D: A Cleveland late night TV host from the 1960s named Ghoulardi E: All of the above”.

The band have also released a new song called ‘Fever’. Fans who pre-order the album will receive ‘Fever’ for free immediately. Scroll down to listen to the song.
