Love them! Happy to hear they have a new album coming out 🙂
Aren’t they great! I will post their new album when it’s available, but not until early next year. They tour with Vance Joy in March so it will probably be out by then. The first video (from Liberty Theater in Astoria) includes starts with one of the songs And Then Like Lions from their upcoming album.
