Live at Bush Hall features brand new, unreleased music, mixed by John Parish, specifically written to perform live during the band’s 2022, following the departure of band member Isaac Woods.
Recorded at the end of 2022, the Live at Bush Hall – a series of three unique concerts of new material at the historic London music hall. All shows sold out in under 1 minute (with waiting lists of 7K+) and were filmed by both crew and fans, for the Live At Bush Hall concert film.
The film premiered on YouTube, with the video receiving over 237K views within 10 days of launch and trending on YouTube UK.
Eschewing a singular front-person, vocals are now shared between three of the members. Tyler takes the lead on a number of tracks including “Up Song”, which celebrates the friendship and success of the band. Elsewhere, May leads on vocals including “Turbines/Pig”, an instant fan-favourite as well as one the band’s most vulnerable tracks to date. Lewis sings on “Across The Pond Friend” and “The Wrong Trousers”. It’s a move that see’s the band’s sound continue to shift, allowing for further influences and diversity to permeate their songwriting.
