Following on from last month's single Baby Kool (Evelyn), Nothing But Thieves return today with the final taster from their upcoming album ‘Stray Dogs’, out 25th September via RCA/Sony Music. Premiered last night on BBC Radio 1 as their Hottest Record, new single ‘A Different Kind of Happiness’ is a track about both reflection and reinvention, timely suited to the band reaching a decade milestone together on the crux of album 5. Speaking about the track the band shared, "A call from your future self, a call from your past. It's about being haunted in both directions. Like a promised version of yourself that never materialised and you got something else. Still trying to learn to deal with that". Take a listen for yourselves below. 

The band have also announced an intimate run of 3 shows, to be performed in 1 day across 3 countries. “Three shows, three countries, ONE day. Is this a bad idea? Maybe. Will we make all the shows? We hope so. Will this be a very loud misunderstanding at customs? Almost certainly. But ‘Stray Dogs’ is a record about the pack and about momentum, so what better way to honour that than going back to the kinds of rooms where the pack started. See you there.” Full tour dates can be found here:
