We tagged along with the seminal Glasgow indie-pop outfit for their intimate Manchester Cathedral show as part of their two-date UK mini tour and Jason Williamson captured the day in pictures. The show coincided with the premiere of their new single ‘The Party Line’, taken from their forthcoming ninth studio album, Girls in Peacetime Want To Dance, which itself is released next year on January 19 via Matador Records, and available to pre-order now here. The band are set to return to the UK for a headline tour in May 2015, including a headline arena show with the Scottish Festival Orchestra at Glasgow’s Hydro Arena on 22 May, before headlining ATP Iceland in July.
