Recorded in seclusion at two locations:\u00a0Grouse Lodge, in\u00a0Moate, Republic of Ireland, and\u00a0The Chapel\u00a0in the countryside of\u00a0East Lincolnshire, the band lived and breathed the album while residing together in rural isolation. The album was mixed by\u00a0Craig Silvey.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe loved living in the same place,\u201d\u00a0says McCann.\u00a0\u201cWe were staying there the whole time, so we were waking up around each other and working until we needed to go to bed. Jacknife was always up. He was the first up and the last awake. It\u2019s good when you\u2019re completely engulfed in recording in a place like that, living together, because every day and all day it was about the songs. We had fun too; they were the funniest album sessions we\u2019ve done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to &#8216;Longshot&#8217; and newly established live favourite,\u00a0Fluctuate, the full track listing for\u00a0The Balance\u00a0is confirmed as follows:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1.

The playful, monochromatic line drawing of a drinking toucan provides observers with no shortage of mystery to unravel as to the artwork\u2019s inspirations and significance.<\/p>\n<p>Practically of no fixed abode due to constant touring, the band remains locked onto the intense shared live experience as theirs and their fans\u2019 natural domain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the start of the year Catfish and The Bottlemen announced their first return to the USA since their nationwide stadium jaunt with Green Day finished in the autumn of 2017, with\u00a0a new, 15-date\u00a0US tour\u00a0opening in\u00a0Indianapolis\u00a0in mid-March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For details of special fan ticket presales, further announcements on new music and to sign up for mailing list updates, connect with Catfish and the Bottlemen on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catfishandthebottlemen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/catfishandthebottlemen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/thebottlemen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/catfishandthebottlemen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;The Balance&#8217;, from Catfish And The Bottlemen, is out on Friday April 26, through Island Records.
