The announcement also comes with a fan event in London the week after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom being well-received at press, to strong UK radio support, \u003cem\u003eDeath \u0026amp; Love Pt.1\u003c\/em\u003e was both terrifying and liberating to write, and is the first instalment of urgent, 9-track hits of cathartic guitar-pop, serving as a powerful coping mechanism to help process frontman \u003cstrong\u003eKieran Shudall\u003c\/strong\u003e’s near-death experience. Both parts are set for release on the 24th of October. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album sees supreme indie hits including a nice big slab of Strokes-y dancefloor destruction of ‘\u003cem\u003eLike You Did Before\u003c\/em\u003e’ to its first offering ‘\u003cem\u003eWe Made It\u003c\/em\u003e’, as well as the extremely topical and longing ‘\u003cem\u003eAmerican Dream\u003c\/em\u003e’. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack in early 2023, Kieran received a call from doctors to say that the main artery in his heart was severely blocked. Two days later, he was lying on an operating table watching a wire being inserted into his heart to fix it. What followed was the cancelling of a lot of shows, working out a lot of medication, and most crucially, now having to navigate a new way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd the results are quite simply stunning.
