Canadian indie rock band PACKS will unveil their third studio album less than a year after their sophomore release.

Announced today, Melt The Honey will be released on January 19th via Fire Talk. The 11-track album was recorded before the release of PACKS' sophomore album Crispy Crunchy Nothing back in March. The first single from the record titled "Honey" can be heard below. Vocalist Madeline Link said this about the new song:

"I wrote this song while I was living in a tiny beach town in Chile, nestled between two hills. They don’t have maple syrup down there so we’d have honey instead. To keep the honey from burning you have to melt it a special way! As this developed into a habit, I think I was struck by how cute it was."

Pre-orders for Melt The Honey can be made here.

This fall, PACKS will be touring North America alongside Geese before heading to Europe and the U.K. for some shows with Slow Pulp. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
