Hearts & Minds marks the second single from the Dublin band's forthcoming sophomore LP, 'Leave The Light On', due out on April 1 via Royal Mountain Records.
Following January's opening track Be By Your Side, the new indie-rock cut comes full of grungy guitars and gritty hooks. Singer and guitarist Pamela Connolly commented:
"Hearts & Minds is about experiencing the feeling of being a teenager again. The insecurities about body image and ability when it comes to being a musician that’s seeing themselves recorded and pictured, as well as commented on. It deals with the idea of imposter syndrome when it comes to an industry that favours the male form and the insecurity of not being able to be effortless with your movements."
They'll support the record with UK and Ireland tour dates in the spring. They'll also kick off their first North American trek next month, which includes their debut appearance at SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. Further Irish shows are in the diary for the autumn.
