The BBC Radio 1 and Radio X supported lead single Killer is available now.

Produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters, Patti Smith) and recorded in Rockfield Studios, By Default is the sound of a group on the sharpest form of their career, more engaged and focused than they’ve ever been.

The follow-up to 2014’s Himalayan, from the trio – made up of Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals), Emma Richardson (bass, vocals) and Matt Hayward (drums) – the new record came about via a decision from the band to take a step back from relentless touring.

“It’s definitely a new era,” says Marsden. “The first three records were like a trilogy, a piece of work in of themselves. We took a breath, took a look at what we’d done, and started from scratch again.”
