Rolo Tomassi have confirmed details of thir new album 'Astraea', set to be released in November.

'Astraea' will be Rolo Tomassi's follow up to the Diplo produced 2010 album 'Cosmology'. It will also be the first album featuring new members Chris Cayford and Nathan Fairweather, who replaced previous bassist Joseph Thorpe and guitarist Joe Nicholson after they left the band earlier this year.
 
Speaking about the album, singer Eva Spence said: "I've never felt this focused and involved with my input into a release as I have with this one. I've had more direct and certain ideas with the way that the vocals fit in each song and the melodies I've worked with, and the lyrics are more centered around one theme."

Rolo Tomassi have also announced details of a UK tour in October which will see the band previewing their new album.
