The follow-up to 2015’s ‘Every Open Eye’, they’ve dropped all manner of teasers, hits and tidbits over the past however long, including an accidental preview of new track ‘My Enemy’, featuring The National’s Matt Berninger.

It is an album about growing up and “coming to terms with the fact that there are great things in the world and there are awful things in the world and that you can’t get one without the other,” explains Lauren Mayberry.
While Iain Cook adds, cheerily: “We’re fucked, the world is fucked. But there’s an ellipses at the end. It’s Love Is Dead. Like, how did we get to this point? And how do we move on from this point? It’s Love Is Dead, we’re fucked, what’s next?”
The track listing is as follows:
Graffiti
Get Out
Deliverance
My Enemy
Forever
Never Say Die
Miracle
Graves
Heaven/Hell
