New album What We Do To Feel released 10th November via Easy Life

November album release shows and 2024 UK headline tour dates on sale now

Lonely The Brave today continue to share new music from their highly-anticipated new album What We Do To Feel. New single 'Long Way' follows 'Victim', 'The Bear', and the album's surging lead single 'The Lens', which won early support from Kerrang! Radio and multiple BBC Radio 1 shows. The stage is set for next month's album release. What We Do To Feel promises to give power to the everyday, often unremarked upon moments in our lives.

True to the album's messages of hope, togetherness and unity, 'Long Way's bright and optimistic energy makes for the perfect LP opener. Guitarist Ross Smithwick says: "Musically it was a track that came together with a feeling that it offered a really positive vibe, it's maintained a riff but certainly moves away from the dark." Vocalist Jack Bennett adds: "Lyrically, it's a bit of an exploration of the commitment of relationships and the desire to keep going no matter what."

What We Do To Feel is an album of hope, hardship, hurdles and gratitude, and looks to give genuine purpose to normality. It reiterates that the things we care about and the things we put our time into make us who we are, and so when the album process became the first time the band had been so separate from each other, the ethos was to wrench as much joy from those moments as possible. It also allowed the band the chance to step away and view their work with a wider lens, active in its creation but following rather than forcing it to become something it didn’t want to.

Guitarist Mark Trotter comments: "You can plan it out as much as you want, but you're just along for the ride. That's the most exciting part, seeing what it decided to be. With this album, we're certainly more mature as people and as a band. That makes sense with everything that has happened since our last one."

Where 2021’s resurgent third album The Hope List brought with it a resounding optimism under the threat of internal and external pressures, on What We Do To Feel the band invoke something grand yet intimate, overtly powerful yet deeply personal, fuelled by care, clarity and consideration for ourselves and each other.

In understanding that worlds and lives aren't always defined by seismic shifts but instead through the celebration of everyday victories, something can be created that is greater than the sum of its parts. Lonely The Brave made their name as masters of being able to reach inside and snatch experiences that feel universal, and with What We Do To Feel they emerge skilled in translating the minutiae of everyday life into lasting moments of communal joy.
