"Qualifying Miles" Is Out Now
🥳🌻 . . . . 🏎️ . . . . 🐌
Gang, there’s no easy way to say this: Qualifying Miles is out now.
Okay, that was easier than I’d anticipated. Just kinda ripped off the bandaid. I could honestly stand to be so forthright in my daily life, but until I learn to do so I’ll have to continue to bury all of my incredible ideas and profound revelations and psychosexual hangups in my lyrics. Lucky for music fans worldwide, I guess!
Want to hear my sublimated contemplations laid bare atop an exquisite musical bed? We made it easy. Stream Qualifying Miles here, now: https://bfan.link/qualifying-miles.
Need a physical map of my innermost ruminations? It couldn’t hurt! You can order Qualifying Miles along with spectacular bundles of our highly-coveted merch from either our UK & EU webstore or our US store.
I kinda feel like it’s personally insulting to imagine that people should need any further incentive to buy this must-have work of art, and yet here I go: Anyone who orders Qualifying Miles from the UK & EU webstore before 6pm BST on Wednesday 23rd July will get pre-sale access for some very special UK shows being announced soon. No, I’m not telling you what the shows are. You have to trust me: You want this pre-sale access.
Want to shake the hands of some people who made an album called Qualifying Miles? You sure as shit do, and you can, this week at various record stores around the UK. The last remaining tickets for those shows are available at the links below, and so is access to our mega-blowout with Kaiser Chiefs at Alexandra Palace Park tomorrow and Poole Harbour Festival next Saturday.

With barely bridled passion,
Keith (and Chris (and Keith))
I needed this. The world needed this. Thanks for just...keeping on going, and surprising us at every turn. The real deal.
SUBLIME contemplations! With all the teaser trailers and acousticness I kinda thought I knew what to expect, but my eyes don't lie, I was not emotionally prepared for the opener 🥲 Epic first listen at midnight, may the brain worm feast commence shortly! 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👏👏👏
