With an EP born from recording sessions with a former Kaiser Chief, and a big old headline tour on the horizon, Irish up-and-comers The Academic aren’t letting lockdown get them down.

With a cast of collaborations that reads like a who’s who of modern alternative music and a debut album drowning in a sea of critical acclaim, Phoebe Bridgers has finally delivered her follow-up, 'Punisher'. No matter what the world throws up, there’s no stopping her now.

Their first studio album since 2017’s ‘Desire’ is out on September 4th

The ‘Think About Things’ hit maker has revealed more dates, joining nights in London and Dublin for next year

It’s a stunning track, following on from the release of standalone tracks ‘Heartbeat’ and ‘Sweet Relief’

We know, cos their new label said so in a tweet, and it turned out to be correct!

The video was pulled together with clips from their headline show in Liverpool last year

There's at least one track, 'Friendly Fire', which was originally slated to appear on 2017's 'One More Light' album.

We literally have nothing else to add, there are no words - just watch the video now
