The single is out today (January 12) and is the first taste of their forthcoming album, which will be released via Dead Oceans later this year. Buy it here.

UPDATE Jannuary 16: "Star Roving" is our new Single of the Week!

In a statement, frontman Neil Halstead said: "When the band decided to get back together in 2014 we really wanted to make new music. It's taken us a whole load of shows and a few false starts to get to that point, but it's with pride and a certain trepidation we unleash “Star Roving”. We really hope folks enjoy it, it's part of a bunch of new tracks we've been working on and it feels as fun, and as relevant playing together now as it did when we first started."
