We told you St. Lucia was about to release new music! And today, they dropped not one but two new tracks, "A Brighter Love" and "Paradise Is Waiting."
Both of the new songs are from the band's upcoming third album, which has yet to receive a release date. Further details about the record are expected soon.
"These songs couldn’t be more different, but we’re so proud of them both," says St. Lucia ringleader Jean-Philip Grobler. "'Paradise Is Waiting' might be the most epic thing we’ve ever done, and ‘A Brighter Love’ is probably the sparsest. It was really hard choosing which songs to lead with, but we felt like these two best represent the extremes of our new music."
As we also previously mentioned, a fall tour seemed likely. And that has turned out to be true. The band will hit the road this fall, with support from Now, Now; The Night Game; and Arkells, on select dates.
Tickets for the tour go on sale next Friday (June 29) at 10 a.m. local time, but a pre-sale will start this Monday (June 25) using password "paradise."
Hear the new songs below.
