The band, which also includes Coldplay and Goldfrapp collaborator Davide Rossi, singer Amelia Tucker and drummer Mig Schillace, will release their debut album New Shores on 3 February 2014.

They are offering taster track Black Submarine as a free download through their website.

The five-piece will play two UK shows around the LP's release, at Manchester Deaf Institute on 5 February and London Wilton's Music Hall on 6 February. Tickets go on sale at 9am on 25 October.

Previously known as The Black Ships, they released the Kurofune EP in 2011, before changing their name last year to begin work on new material.
