The record is mixed by Tom Elmhirst, a multiple Grammy Award Winner who also worked with David Bowie, Frank Ocean, and Adele and was mixed in Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios.

Today, not only saw the announcement for the upcoming new record but saw their single “A Caged Bird/Imitations of Life” which features vocals by Roots Manuva, is widely available on all digital streaming sites.
