Blossoms have today revealed the details of their new album, Foolish Loving Spaces, as well as the dates for a 2020 UK tour.
Set for release on January 31, the album is the follow up to their 2018 Top 5, Cool Like You and features recent single, Your Girlfriend.
It was produced by James Skelly and Rich Turvey at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool.
"The album is a pure celebration of love in all of its splendid and baffling guises, toying with the so-called sins of lust and forbidden infatuation," said frontman Tom Ogden.
"It’s inspired by a summer spent listening to Stop Making Sense, The Joshua Tree and Screamadelica."
