The band have recently completed major sold out tours in the UK and the United States, headlined stages at major festivals including Glastonbury, and performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. They also created the original soundtrack for Darren Aronofsky’s film Caught Stealing and frontman Joe Talbot launched his podcast Oh Gatekeeper with Joe Talbot.
