‘Stay Gold’ was given its world premiere by Zane Lowe when he played it as his Hottest Record In The World on his Radio1 show. It’s being released as a single on 4AD on November 7th and shows the band have lost none of their verve in their time away from the spotlight.

Written with references to both an article from the late-60s by Stanley Kubrick in Playboy and Robert Frost’s Pulitzer Prize winning poem, ‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’ (which also featured prominently in the book and subsequent film, The Outsiders), ‘Stay Gold’ is about finding things that make you happy. In Milo’s case, that was graffiti when he was a kid; a subject that runs through the artwork for their forthcoming second album.
