The new record came about via a conscious decision from the band to take a step back from their relentless world-wide touring schedule (having never spent more than a month off the road in the last 2 years) to decamp to and write songs in a Southampton Baptist Church-cum-makeshift HQ.
- Fourth album to be released by Band Of Skulls. The follow up to 2014’s ‘Himalayan’.
- Produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters, Patti Smith) and recorded in Rockfield Studios.
- ‘By Default’ is the sound of a group on the sharpest form of their career, more engaged and focused than they've ever been.
