The band's new album, which follows their 2013 debut In Love, has in fact been finished for some time. Speaking to Gigwise backstage at this year's Reading Festival, the band said: "It's finished, we're just waiting for the right time to release it."
They added: "We would've loved to do it earlier but apparently you've got to do things in the lead up to it. Why can't we just put it on YouTube? But no, you've gotta build it up. So that's what we're doing now."
As for the album's sound, they told us: "It kind of expands on every element of our sound that we've already covered... If you take us at face value you might be a little unsettled by some of the songs on it. But I'd like to think that people can kind of digest it a little bit and chew it up and be like, 'Ok, it doesn't sound like 'Lovesick' but I like it."
Happy People will be released via Columbia Records on 9 February 2015. See the full tracklisting below.
