Dublin band Jape's new album, This Chemical Sea, is to be released early next year, with the trio describing it as "the first album which has a uniquely 'Jape' sound from start to finish".

With new single The Heart's Desire just released, Jape frontman Richard Egan has told fans that they should expect to hear more bass on the upcoming album.

"The Heart's Desire came from a bass riff," he said. "I've played bass with so many bands, [The Redneck Manifesto, Villagers, David Kitt] and it's my favourite instrument to play so I figured I should use it more for this record."
