“I think we’re making the record I always wanted us to make,” enthuses Kele Okereke. “We’re in the middle of it, still writing songs and mixing stuff.”
Appearing last night on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio One show, the band also debuted their new single, ‘Mercury’, which is being streamed all this week on BBC's website.
“It’s a song we finished a little while ago that we’re really proud of so we thought we’d let everyone hear it,” Okereke adds. “I’m still somewhat in awe.”
The song gets an official Irish release on August 8.
