Powerful, rapturous, soaring as well as darkly candid soul by the British duo of south London singer-songwriter Kojo Degraft-Johnson and Huddersfield-born producer-instrumentalist Barney Lister, heralding the album VOLUME 2, out 30 May on Dead Oceans.

Thief I recognise, steals my walk
Drags me down so low, to the mercy of the night
London's filling up with water, drowning block to block
Caught my wandering attention, my wandering attention
You can leave your home, but you will never leave the hatred
You take it with you, like a shape always waiting
Darkest hour, stuck at three in the morning
All that violence I left behind in my home in my town
It's always here to tear me down
Always here to tear me down
Don't ask me where I've gone, won't answer that
Deeper than the deepest ocean, goes all the way back
And I swear you would not recognise the child, except you would
With his wandering attention, my wandering attention
You can leave your home, but you will never leave the hatred
You take it with you, like a shape always waiting
Darkest hour, stuck at three in the morning
All that violence I left behind in my home in my town
It's always here to tear me down
Always here to tear me down
