The Epic Dalston Events Hall was revealed to be the gig’s location, and the band are now gearing up for another weekend of festivals at Electric Picnic and End Of The Road. This all supports the Near To The Wild Heart Of Life album, which singer/guitarist Brian Keys told Pitchfork is a much clearer presentation of an evolving approach to recording. ”With this album, the idea of what intensity means is evolving,” he said.

”It doesn’t necessarily mean screaming or jumping around or flailing about or being really loud or playing really fast.”
