The band, who shot to stardom with their debut album Hopes and Fears in 2004, has not released a new album since 2012’s Strangeland and has been on hiatus since 2013. 

“We make such great music together, I would’ve been really sad if we never followed that through again,” Tim Rice-Oxley explained to Billboard why the band is now coming back together. 

Lead Singer Tom Chaplin added: “I was off doing solo things, and I felt like I hadn’t seen Tim in ages. He’s an important person in my life, so I felt like I needed to see how he was.”

This fateful reunion set in motion a chain of events that will end next month with the band’s sixth studio album. 

Referring to the new album’s first single, the melancholic “The Way I Feel”, drummer Richard Hughes had this to say: “There’s a sort of vulnerability to admitting you don’t have any of the answers, isn’t there? It’s not a very modern thing. Everyone wants to feel like they’ve got a handle on whatever they’ve got going on — when most of the time, we don’t.”
