Frontman Joe Talbot recently told the NME that ” Dance » is emblematic of what the album will be. “ When I started this album, I told Bowen, “I want to make people dance, I want people to feel the love that I need in my life, I want to make them move, I want our music is contagious again, and I want it to be contagious in a way that makes people feel, not think. I want to feel like I’m part of something electric again. I wanted to develop and transgress Crawler of 2021, which marked the start of something new for us. When something feels as electric as CrawlerI just wanted to continue, and evoke a sense of purpose. »

In a statement posted on social media, the group said: “ I needed love. So I did it. I gave love to the world and it’s magical. This is our album of gratitude and power. Only love songs. Everything is love. »
