The tour comes as the band prepare to release their second album, which has been produced by Gil Norton – who previously worked with Pixies on Doolitle and Foo Fighters on 2007’s Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace.

Describing the new record, singer Becca Macintyre said: “The sound we have so far is incredible. It’s still very much Marmozets and when you listen to it, it sounds like we’ve all recorded it in the same room. That’s exactly how it should be. It transmits the energy that we have when we play live.”

Earlier this year, guitarist Jack Bottomley also caught up with NME to discuss their forthcoming second album.

He said: “Everything is a lot more structured and there’s a clearer vibe on this. All the songs fit nicely together like a jigsaw for this second album – whereas I feel with the first, it was very disjointed in places almost as if all the jigsaw pieces didn’t quiet fit at times. We’re definitely excited about where we’re going.”
