Our new album ‘Slow and Steady’ is now available to pre-order from both Stitch-Stitch and Discount Horse. It’s made up of ten songs which were recorded in the same sessions as ‘It Is The Rehearsal That Will Make This’, so they’re kind of a pair. We’re really excited about it. It’ll be released in early June, in time for our tour with Jack Lewis. You can listen to a preview here.
