The Futureheads have ‘almost finished’ a new album and will return with a UK tour in May.
There’s been plenty going on for the bandmates since 2012, but it’s taken that long for The Futureheads to get going again, a statement from them today saying that they ‘breathe frantically once more’.
“After our a cappella album Rant!, strapping the electric guitars back on seemed suddenly alien,” it continues. “A hiatus was needed: around 2000 days it seems. Over the past 12 months we’ve been chipping away at our 6th album. It is the culmination of every ounce of energy we have: a return, we hope, to bombastic, daring, creative righteousness.”
“We are almost finished. We are in love with this record. We believe in it. We can’t wait to see you again. The Futureheads are coming soon.”
The tour will visit Stoke, Cardiff, London, Brighton, Norwich and Nottingham between May 4th-June 1st.
