The new single is the latest to be lifted from the forthcoming second record, The Sweetness Restored which is set for release via the beloved Madrid label, Bobo Integral (Motorists, Ducks Ltd, Quivers) on April 22.

The Sweetness Restored displays a kind of wistful self-awareness right from the start, it's a collection of ten track
