As a band, it\u2019s one of our favourites on the album, and came together quite easily from first jam through practice sessions. The chorus was the most challenging aspect as we really had to get the feel of that right.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Jericho\u2019 follows previous single \u2018All I Hear\u2019, released earlier in the year to acclaim from the likes of Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins at BBC 6Music, who premiered the track. Recorded at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool and produced by long-standing collaborator Phil Bulleyment, The Joy Of The Return marks a significant change in the band\u2019s process, with their extensive touring allowing them time to write and develop tracks and arrangements through soundchecks and back-of-van jams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throughout the album, the band explore a vast swathe of sonic territory, with the dark power-pop that defined their previous releases still holding a strong influence. \u2018No Surprise\u2019 provides a powerful dose of evocative, brooding lyricism amid immersive soundscapes, while the unsettling \u2018Paris\u2019 is an undulating exploration of observational songwriting and eclectic musicality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Elsewhere, the swelling, arena-sized \u2018Zero Hour\u2019 displays the enormity of The Slow Readers Club sound and sets the precedent for their incredibly exciting future, before \u2018The Wait\u2019 closes the album with a beautifully absorptive combination of atmospheric synths flipping the pace of the record on its head to intoxicating effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new album comes on the back of a huge 2019 for the band, which saw them play an incredible 32-date European tour, with a number of UK shows selling out, including London\u2019s The Dome, and two consecutive nights at Manchester\u2019s The Ritz, following the release of their critically acclaimed third album, &#8216;Build A Tower&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Slow Readers Club will embark on an extensive tour throughout the UK and EU in March, April and May, including shows in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bristol and London\u2019s Electric Ballroom, with many close to selling out. The band will also perform a number of in-store shows in Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield, Newcastle and Edinburgh. Full dates can be found below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ahead of the tour, on Thursday 19th March, the band will play an intimate hometown show at Manchester\u2019s Night &amp; Day Caf\u00e9. A ticket link for the show will be made available closer to the date to everyone who has pre-ordered &#8216;The Joy Of The Return&#8217; from the band\u2019s website.
