The band have explained, “We’re just incredibly excited to be releasing The Present is a Foreign Land today. It’s a record that means a huge amount to us, and I can’t really believe that it’s finally going to be out in the world! We put a lot of ourselves into making it and as a result we’ve never been prouder of our music. I hope people connect with it and love it because we really do.”
The official music video is a striking visual, with director and long-time collaborator Jon Stone saying, “lust and longing combine and combat with explosive effect in the video which aims to capture the chaos of emotion that James has beautifully expressed in his lyrics. The video is a hypnotic exploration of the maelstrom of emotions in a relationship founded in desperation and grief.”
