The Glaswegian alt folk trio are set to release a new single entitled 'A Horse's Grin' on the 16th November through Distiller Records. The track is taken from their second short player 'Into The Wild', which will be released on the 23rd of November. The single will be available on download and the seven track short player will be available on 12' vinyl and CD.
