The band release new single ‘Not The Only Person’ on June 29th. The album ‘Welcome to The Walk Alone’ is out on July 13th, through Island Records. Produced by Mark Ronson, ‘Welcome to The Walk Alone’ is the extraordinary follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2007 debut, ‘Girls and Weather’.
Recalling the widescreen sounds of Phil Spector and Scott Walker, coupled with 1940's wartime melodies and early 1960s European soul, ‘Welcome to The Walk Alone’ is a timeless record that sounds like nothing else released this year.
