Today, the band are returning to announce their second LP Leave The Light On, which is due out April 1st on Royal Mountain Records, and are sharing the first single from the new album, a track called "Be By Your Side".
"This song is about the mechanisms that are used to hide your vulnerabilities and carry on," explains singer / bassist Pamela Connolly. "But also, the feeling of being about to burst and how cathartic it could be to allow yourself to let your emotions out and feel the world around you. This was one of the first songs we finished on the album as it was the quickest to become fully realized by all of us."
The album announcement coincides with the announcement of the band's first North American tour, which will include a stop at SXSW before the band return to the UK in May and their native Ireland in October. Full live routing can be found below, with tickets available here.
