Titled Declaration of Dependance, the record is due out on October 20 from Virgin Records. The album contains 13 tracks, all of which were recorded across Europe. The writers at Billboard have heard the record, and call it "more stripped-down than either of its predecessors, with a host of the tracks consisting of nothing more than voice and acoustic guitar."
