make an epic return with their uplifting new album Where The Wild Things Grow on 22 March. Formed in and around Wigan at the start of the millennium, the indie stalwarts released four LPs, Love Is Here in 2001, Silence Is Easy (2003), On The Outside (2005) and All The Plans (2009), before going on hiatus.
“When we decided to split up, we were in quite a bad place,” admits chief songwriter and vocalist James Walsh. “It wasn’t that the relationships between band members were bad, we were all just a little bit jaded with the industry and felt like we were on a kind of downward trajectory. Well, not even heading downwards, just sort of treading water and not really getting anywhere. When that reality hit, it was quite demoralising.”
