The album, which comes out on Friday, took three years to make and was ready in 2019, but the Covid-19 pandemic delayed its release.
Releasing an album without being able to tour wasn t ideal, but the band had delayed it long enough, and it was a mental release for it to finally be coming out, de Borst said.
The band formed while still in high school in Cambridge in 1995 and went on to tour the world and release six albums, the last which was released in 2014.

The girls doubles final was an all-Santa Barbara battle. No. 1 seeded Charlotte Ryan and Koko Kelly defeated teammates and second seeded Natalie Brewer and Katie Clyne for the league title, 6-1, 6-0.

Definitely a bummer to have to play your own mates, but the Dons had to eventually as they knocked all other doubles teams out.
For Auckland hotelier Desmond Moraes, the culmination of the band and the bubble meant all 45 rooms in his central Parkside Hotel and Apartments were full on Saturday. I think 90 per cent were people from Auckland wanting to stay in town and go and have a party. I saw lots of girls coming together and booking two or three rooms. But we did notice a lot of Australian families checking in as well. Two days after the borders opened - the hotel s receptionist couldn t keep up with calls, he said.
