You can pre-order it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n They will also share the first taster from the record \u2018Not Going Your Way\u2019 next Friday (October 31), which you can pre-save here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Frontman Tom Clarke said of the new record, the band\u2019s fifth: \u201cWe tried to make this album in the same frame of mind that we made our first, as though we were making the follow-up to it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt took a year to write, around 90 demos, and another year in the studio. I\u2019m very proud of it. We all are. Whatever success it does or doesn\u2019t enjoy I feel like we all succeeded in making a great record we can be proud of forever.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to NME<\/em> last year about their plans for a comeback album<\/a>, Clarke previously said: \u201cWe started writing this time last year, tentatively putting a few ideas down, feeling how it might sound. There was a pause, then once we got back to it, the floodgates opened.<\/p>\n \u201cAll these Enemy-sounding songs came out and it\u2019s felt like the beginning again, before the demands of: \u2018We need another \u2018Had Enough\u2019. When you pick them apart, a lot of the songs on \u2018We\u2019ll Live And Die In These Towns\u2019 are quite weird. We\u2019ve found that weirdness again. We\u2019ve demoed the songs at our home studios, and in a fortnight we\u2019re going into the studio with our producer, Matt Terry.\u201d<\/p>\n The band\u2019s 2007 debut album \u2018We\u2019ll Live And Die In These Towns<\/a>\u2019 was a platinum-selling Number One and spawned huge hits including \u2018Had Enough\u2019, \u2018Away From Here\u2019, \u2018You\u2019re Not Alone\u2019 and the LP\u2019s title track.<\/p>\n\n
