The Maccabees return with ‘Marks To Prove It’

We’ve known they were on the cusp of returning for some time now, but now The Maccabees have offered up the first teaser of their as-yet-unconfirmed fourth album, due later this year.

‘Marks To Prove It’ is to be released as a single on 11th May, but can be heard RIGHT NOW. Obviously. Who’d want to make anyone wait in 2015?

“These new songs are a reminder of why we started the band,” says spokes-Maccabee Hugo White. “With the enthusiasm to play music that’s exciting and makes us excited.”

The track’s debut follows the announcement earlier today of a string of UK tour dates, also in May.

MAY
11 Birmingham Institute
12 Glasgow ABC
13 Manchester Ritz
14 London Coronet

The single was produced by the band alongside Laurie Latham at their own Elephant Studios, and features artwork from British artist Andy Goldsworthy.

“We’re thrilled to say that artwork for the singles from our new album will again feature the work of Andy Goldsworthy” say the band. “This is the first in the ’Midsummer Snowballs’ series - we hope you like it as much as we do.”
