Oooh just received the email and rushed straight here.

A rather cryptic message. Interesting.

So do we reckon Rise and Fall is the album title or that of the lead single?

I'd gotten the impression that we wouldn't see any new music till the new year, but presumably if the promotion has just started we'll see the album in the autumn.

Which is of course perfect timing for a Christmas tour and James to catch the flu after a handful of dates!

Haha, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had this reaction! It's been over a year -- hi everyone :)

Am trying to work out if the blur on the two red Ls means anything. Think I might be overthinking it.

Check your e-mails mates!!! something is coming...

So much for calculations
So much for standing tall
So much for implications
So much for the
Decline
& Fall


AARGH;!! Saw posted and if only hadn't wasted time writing it down instead of copy paste photo bucket eventual payment!
So with that lyrics! A one off single? An EP? New album early? Adhsfurecb!!; without capitals but anxiety in a good way because something concrete to look forward to.
Made up!

Definitely looks to be a stylistic choice, but no idea of the meaning. The two Ls in Tall haven't had the same effect so it's not being consistently applied unlike the reversed Rs in earlier releases.

This made me lol! 😂Poor James.

I don't want a repeat of any previous album, but I do hope it's a bit rougher/heavier and more incisive than their last few albums...

as I saw one of this year's gigs James played an intro a song (I saw on youtube) I think it is intro to new single. It was very warming.

Yes! Welcome back all! 😊

Ooooo…anyone got a link to this?

Argh! I've started singing it to the Muppets Show theme tune! Nooo! That's not fair! We haven't even heard it yet!!

Ooooh that’s evil! 😂 And fits perfectly, & I too can now not unhear 🤦🏻*♂️🤣

Just give me lots of guitars, that’s all I ask.
