Originally an acid workout about parents who leave on tour it became much more than that with her vocal, which is equal parts sing-song and spoken word and who’s lyrics helped add both a familiarity and a mystery to the song.”The band added that, on ‘Let It Be Blue’, they were “looking for basic minimal arrangements – sub-bass, drums and vocals mostly – and that approach is what finally let us support the vocal parts in a way that worked.“The final piece was the beat that our producer Patrick Ford made that felt somewhere between programmed, sampled and played, a blurriness that is another feature of this album, ‘Let It Be Blue’, which was mostly built on computers but doesn’t always sound or feel that way.”Listen to ‘Storm Around The World’ below and pre-order the new album here.!!! are set to support the new album with a US tour that begins in late May and runs through to mid-June.
