The Maccabees have unveiled the follow up to "Marks To Prove It", "Something Like Happiness".
It's a huge, epic-pop tune with Arcade Fire leanings and festival-sized aspirations. Describing the cut, the band's Orlando Weeks said: “It’s about being really happy for someone if they’ve got something. You can feel like you have to rally against things, but people know their minds and if it brings someone contentment, then good for them.”
Check out our new live gallery from their recent New York show here.
The track features on the band's upcoming fourth LP, Marks To Prove It, which is released 31 July via Fiction.
