however touring was limited from the middle of the year due to first Matt and then David getting married. Further, Tim and Neil relocated to live in London as of October. The band continued writing and tracking new songs for a new album. With their new album, titled Tides And Tides, set for a release on 7 December 2009 initially via iTunes, and then on 10 December 2009 in physical form, the band released a free download of the first single on the album on 9 November 2009. Called "Kid Go Get It", the song was made available through their website and Myspace site, accompanied by the companion video for the song.
