Yearning your lost youth, when things seemed easier,” said frontman Kingsley Hall in a press release. “Getting Peter Doherty involved was important not just because he’s a legendary performer but also because he was a hero to both of us when we were getting into music, linking in with the theme of the song.“Peter and the Libertines were integral to our musical education and love of music, like it or not, he’s a hugely important factor as to why we do what we do.

He’s part of our past and we’re honoured and humbled that he agreed to participate in our future.” Speaking about ‘Constant Noise’, Hall explained: “We felt there was no point in just repeating the first album.
