During an interview on "The Imelda May Show" in Ireland, the band confirmed they were working on a new album, tentatively scheduled for release in early 2016. Some material from the album was played during the tour, and the album was finally released on 17 November 2016, called Lets Do This Thing and recorded at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. The band played a live version of their cover "I Can See Clearly Now" on the premiere episode of Amazon Prime's The Grand Tour first made available to stream in November 2016. As a result, they saw an upswing in popularity, with "I Can See Clearly Now" going to no. 1 on the iTunes Rock Chart Singles in the UK.
