    Released: 20 August 2013

An exclusive acoustic version of the album track "I Just Do" was made available as a free download from the band's official website.

It debuted at number #33 in the UK Album Chart on 13 October 2013 with the first two singles from the album, "Rescue" and "Blue Murder" (retitled on the single release as "Boy Cried Wolf"), A-listed by the UK Radio station BBC Radio 2. The album also received critical acclaim.

Boy Cried Wolf is generally considered to be the band's most melancholy album to date.
