It’ll follow last year’s ‘For Those That Wish To Exist’.During an interview with NME earlier this summer, Carter stressed the importance of the group continuing to “change and to challenge” themselves as musicians.“We’re very proud of the legacy of this band but we don’t want to just look back and think ‘OK that was cool’,” he explained. “We’ve always got to try and reach for bigger, bolder, more excitement.“I’m always eyes on the next prize.
