Fresh from the band’s return single ‘Wolves’ making #79 in this year’s hottest 100, the six-piece are hitting the road.
A new album, Rising With the Sun (the band’s sixth), is also on the way, and is set to be released on March 4 and another single ‘Bulls’ has just been released.
“The song ‘Bulls’ came directly from a dream” explains frontman Felix Riebl.
“I woke up at the very edge of sleep. Almost, just before I woke up, there was a guy in there showing me a rhythm. It’s very distinct. That song came straight from there. I think we run the risk of sounding pretentious to say that songs come in dreams, but sometimes they really quite literally just appear that way. That’s a real gift.”
