BLACK PEAKS have announced a brand new album!

The upcoming album, titled All That Divides, is the sophomore effort from the Brighton quartet and follows 2016’s Statues and is scheduled to be released in October this year. The upcoming album was produced by Adrian Bushby (Grammy Award Winner for MUSE and FOO FIGHTERS) and speaking about the upcoming album, frontman Will Gardner says, “lyrically at least, this album represents the fear of a future where freedom is restricted. Over the last two years, we as a band have been incredibly lucky to have been able to travel across Europe and play our music. The fact this happened to take place during a period where various political changes, at home and abroad, made us focus a lot about the freedom and right to travel. We have seen people, families, relationships and countries divided by conflict and political upheaval, and our reaction to this is a core lyrical theme running through the album.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new single from the upcoming record; titled Home. Speaking about the track, Gardner says, “we were writing the song against the backdrop of a lot of uncertainty with regards to personal and political identity. We were out on tour in Mainland Europe in mid-2016, during a period where we as British Citizens felt like decisions being made on behalf of our Home did not represent us. There is a uneasy feeling of severance that happens when you are not physically at home during a time of transformation. Our feelings of disconnection and division from our country and it’s people, coupled with tour-fatigue and cabin fever, made for some of the most difficult times we have experienced, as a band, as friends, and as people.”
