Pre-order it here.“I didn’t sleep or call home enough. The hotel at night had me restless. I wrote from there. A burning I felt was set to take me down if I didn’t name it and know it,” the frontman wrote on Instagram, recalling his time working on the initial release.“‘Strange Desire’ was born in this rough time with the full armour of sonic chaos.

Voices fluttering around me, hotel room walls echoing in the vocal takes, layers on layers and the low end of that Juno gluing the kitchen sink together as it still does for my band.“It was the sound that I called Bleachers.
