“A lot of the content has to do with loss, and specifically the loss of someone who you care deeply about,” frontman Ross Farrar notes. “There is no way for you to go through something like this artistically and not have really strong emotions of loss and pain.

The record will follow up their 2012 effort, Zoo.
