Background
The band confirmed they were working on new material in an NME interview in July 2019,[1] having released their soundtrack album Balance, Not Symmetry a few months earlier. Another NME interview in October 2019 confirmed the release of the album, with the working title Opus 8, for the 'first half of next year'.[2]
The first single, "Instant History", was released on 20 February 2020, and first played on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show.
The album was initially planned for release of 15 May 2020, but was pushed back to 14 August due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3]
