King Creosote has announced a new album due to hit the shelves this September.

Returning on Friday September 2 with Astronaut Meets Appleman, the Scotsman explores the tension and harmony between tradition and technology and also invokes a feeling, King Creosote said is like: “being caught between heaven and earth."

On the new LP KC said: “I wanted to push myself songwriting-wise, so I went in with hardly anything and had to wing it. I wanted to try and flip the clock all the way back to sound like a younger me – or a less cynical me. In the past, I've been fixated on twisting and wrenching every line, but here I've let that go a bit, and I hope that lets you concentrate more on the music; on what’s going on around it.”

The first track to be shared is the album’s opener ‘You Just Want’. A seven-minute piece of hymnal drone-pop, its touchstones are the art of patience, scenes of mild bondage and Venus (in Furs).

Miamigo have revealed a new video for track 'Forever'.

The striking visual (created by the band), reflects their own aesthetic, giving a nod to the 80s pop that influences their music but with a dark twist.

Speaking on the video, the band said: “The idea is to represent the belief of nothing lasting forever.

"The video centres around a young lady looking to buy something tangible that'll last with the couple on the shopping channel representing some surreal unrequited love.

"We're very much inspired by '80s/'90s slasher movies and we felt a dark ending was necessary to add a little twist to the vibrance.”

The band recently performed at huge venues across Europe after joining electro duo Hurts on their European tour as well as touring the length of the UK with up-and-coming US outfit Transviolet.
