New Glasses marks the second preview of the returning band's upcoming album, 'Glorious Sunset', their first studio full-length in 15 years.
Following the previously unveiled title track, the melodic, uplifting rock track was one of the last songs to be written and recorded for the LP. Vocalist Colin Doran said:
"The lyrics for this song are really about a person I used to work with that spent lots of time treating people badly to cover up their own inadequacies. They were not good at their job but, due to their massive ego and how they wished to be perceived by others, preferred to make others feel deficient. The song describes how I came to realise this. The amusing thing is that it was a working title as when we started writing it, Larry had actually got new glasses that day but the name stuck."
'Glorious Sunset' marks the rock veterans' fifth record to date, and follows 2007's 'Quick The Word, Sharp The Action'. It's scheduled to arrive on February 24 via SO Recordings.
The four-piece will support it with a rescheduled UK tour in February and March, with special guests Hell Is For Heroes and My Vitriol. They'll also appear 2000trees festival near Cheltenham in July.
