Rolo Tomassi have announced that their third album, Astraea, will be out on November 5 via Destination Moon Records.
The LP promises both some of their heaviest material yet, matched to a showcasing of their lighter, more melodic side, and marks their first album with new members Nathan Fairweather and Chris Cayford.
Says keyboardist and vocalist James Spence: "At the first practice with Chris and Nathan, we demoed ideas for what would make a few of the songs that ended up on the album. It was a worry that it would take time to bed the new members in but the chemistry between us with writing was unbelievable. This album is exactly the direction I wanted to push the band in post-Cosmology and I don’t think we could have done it without Chris and Nathan,."
