Speaking to NME at The Great Escape, frontman Fred Macpherson talked about the band’s progression from ‘Enjoy It While It Lasts’ to their second album. “I don’t think we ever necessarily thought there would be a second album,” Macpherson said. “We’re starting to really enjoy making music and performing music, rather than the bits that go around that.”
