This new song from the American indie act comes from their recently announced upcoming album, 'Strangers To Ourselves', which is currently set to drop on March 3rd next year via Epic Records. 'Strangers To Ourselves' will be the bands first release since 2009's B-side compilation, 'No One's First and You're Next' and their sixth album to date. The announcement of the new album just comes after a re-issue of the bands first two albums, 'This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About' (1996) and 'The Lonesome Crowded West' (1997).
