Background and release

In March 2015, Lawson announced via social media that their second studio album was complete. In an interview with Capital FM, Brown said "The writing and recording process at Blackbird Studios in Nashville allowed us to test ourselves and try new sounds and directions," he added. "We're really proud of it." [1] The lead single “Roads” was released in May 2015.

In May, the album was delayed due to Brown’s liver failure. [2]In September, the band resumed work on their second studio album and said it is due out later this year or early next via Polydor Records. In the meantime, a self-titled extended play was released in October, containing new songs and previously released singles.

gollark: ``` They're very gentle creatures, spending most of their lives flying lazy loops in the sky or draped decoratively over evergreen boughs and along eaves. Their green "garland" along their spine is modified dorsal fin, flexible, not stiff. Though they do eat normal small prey animals, the mainstay of their diet is mana absorbed through the green fins. They greatly prefer Life mana, but an abundance of any in a region will suffice. The berries are most often highly refined fire mana, and give gentle, comforting warmth to any who find one. They will gather in small groups in areas with higher than normal mana concentrations in the air, though they can be seen nearly anywhere. They appear to be oblivious to extremes of both hot and cold weather, though they're seen more often during the snowy months. It is believed that they actively convert excess mana to fire mana, which is then deliberately dropped in the form of their berries. If one finds a nest made by one of these dragons they will find a layer of the mana berries lining the bottom, presumably to keep the eggs warm while the parent is away. These dragons are believed to be the source of the practice of decorating homes and trees with garlands made of evergreen boughs and holly berries or cranberries.```The Wiki™.
