Nearly three years on from making their debut with Days Gone By, Bob Moses have lifted the curtain on their sophomore follow-up effort.
Titled Battle Lines, the 11-track record is set to arrive September 14 through Domino. The duo recorded the album in Laurel Canyon after writing and testing out new material on tour.
"This record is about the battles and struggles we all live through," the duo said in a statement. "Battles within ourselves, battles with and within our society, battles between each other, with our loved ones, battles between ideologies. It's also about struggling to identify where those battles lines start and end, and what within us and within our environments cause these struggles, and ultimately cause our suffering. It's also about the struggle to reconcile with those things, somehow."
A taste of what's to come from the disc arrives with "Back Down," which can be heard in the player below. That track follows the previously released "Heaven Only Knows."
Bob Moses have also mapped out a North American tour set to kick off in September, with Canadian stops in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. You can find a complete itinerary below.
