Pleased to announce our second album O Monolith. We recorded it in Wiltshire among lots of green space just as spring was setting in. It's about fears, whatever may or may not be beyond the skies, death, rats & bedside cabinets. Thanks for your patience & we hope you enjoy it.

When it comes to working titles, we're a terrible band. Swing (In A Dream) didn't even have a working title when we filmed it for @FTB_TV & @wetransfer . It later went on to be named briefly as Sevens, referring unoriginally to the track's rhythmic meter.
