After premiering it on Huw Stephens’ radio show back on Monday night, the band have now unveiled ‘Dorian’.

The tracks gets taken from their third effort ‘1000 Palms’, the follow-up to 2013’s ‘Pythons’, which will be released on 11th May through UK label Fierce Panda.

When it comes to the track itself, frontman John Paul Pitts has said, “this song has everything from classic 80’s synth patches to fucked-up vocoder sound collages, embracing a series of left-turns that make it one of the most unique songs in our catalogue.”
