Band Of Skulls announce new record By Default, reveal "Killer" lead single

Gil Norton (Pixies, Patti Smith) has produced the LP, which follows 2014's Himalayan.

Speaking about the recording process, the band's Russell Marsden says: “It’s definitely a new era. The first three records were like a trilogy, a piece of work in of themselves. We wanted to do those things, and we did them all. We took a breath, took a look at what we’d done, and started from scratch again.”

By Default is out 27 May on BMG.
