Manchester's Dutch Uncles have today announced details of their forthcoming new album 'Big Balloon'. Sharing its title track the band showcase a tantalising taste of what's to come as its jazzed-up percussion and elongated guitar sections drive home a message of self-content. "The song has a simple message: to be content with who you are." explains vocalist and lyricist Duncan Wallis. "If you need help with that, then don't be ashamed or frustrated. If other people appear to be doing a better job at being you than you then it means that that's not you. And that's okay too". Take a listen below along with a full rundown of upcoming 2017 tour dates.
