The album’s songs are inspired by books, including The Book Of Dust, by Philip Pullman, The Testaments, by Margaret Atwood, The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell, and Underland by Robert Macfarlane. The band are now based in Wigtown, Scotland’s Book Town, but will be on tour this year to promote the album, playing in bookshops, libraries and festivals all over the UK.
