Rational builds from a calm introduction to a fiery, dramatic conclusion and marks the Nottingham two-piece's third single from their upcoming second album, 'Common Sense Holiday', which is scheduled to arrive on March 13 through their new label home at Earache Records.
It follows early cuts European Hardware and First Words featuring former Reuben frontman Jamie Lenman on guest vocals. Guitarist and vocalist Matt Reynolds said:
"Rational is by far the most exploratory and experimental release from us to date. It features not one, but two hidden key changes and drifts through several time signatures.
"The lyrics deal with the idea of being sold a lie and although it may seem it, it wasn't originally intended from a political standpoint, it was in fact a retrospective look at a very short relationship that turned bad near instantly. I hope that someone listening for the words will be able to make up their own mind as to what it personally means to them."
The ex-Heck duo will support the record's release with a spring headline UK tour.
