The band's new record Wildness is their first in seven years.
Singer and songwriter Gary Lightbody said of the album: "There are many types of wildness, but I think it can be distilled into two: the wildness of the modern age, all its confusion, illogic and alienation and a more ancient wildness.
"Something primal, alive and beautiful that speaks to our true connectivity, our passion, our love, our communion with nature and each other. This is the kind of wildness the album is centered around. The loss of it. Trying to reconnect with it. To remember it."
The band has released new music videos for album tracks A Youth Written in Fire, Life and Death, Wild Horses and A Dark Switch.
