Released in September on UK label Memphis Industries, new album Lenses Alien is a stunning example of a band growing into itself – learning to collaborate, becoming more confident with themselves and each other. Refinement and clarity of purpose came in no small part with the guidance of producer John Agnello, and together they set out to craft an album that re-contextualized the band's favoured sounds and highlighted underexplored strengths.
