Surprise! Here’s a nice early Christmas present. A taster of And So I Watch You From Afar’s new album All Hail Bright Futures, the first for the band as a three-piece following the departure of Tony Wright (Niall Kennedy plays with them live is now a full-time member of the band). ‘Like A Mouse’ is a bridge to the band’s new album, introducing more vocal melodies and hinting at the album’s uplifting theme. Despite the title suggestion, it’s still a piledriver of a track.
All Hail Bright Futures is released through Sargent House on March 19th. Also, loving the artwork.

Isn’t every track of theirs a piledriver of a track?
Hey, it’s early. I meant, despite the track title suggestion as in “quiet like a mouse”
