Influential New Zealand rockers The Bat have announced another studio album in their iconic career.

Today, they’ve revealed their 10th studio album Foothills, which will be released on November 13 via Flying Nun Records. The first single for the record titled “Warwick” comes equipped with a music video directed by Conor Bowden. The visual can be seen below. When it comes to working on Foothills, vocalist Robert Scott said:

“Time marches on... finally, we found a gap in our busy lives and chose a week to convene. We found a house that is usually inhabited by ski field workers — Kowai Bush, near Springfield about an hour west of Christchurch and of course nestled in the foothills of the mighty Southern Alps. The songs had been written, demo’d and arranged for some time, but still with a little room for trying things out in the studio. Many carloads arrived at the house, full of amps guitars and recording gear, we set up camp and soon made it feel like home; coloured lights, a log fire, and home cooked meals in the kitchen. We worked fast, and within a few days had all the basic backing tracks done, live together in one room, the way we like to do it - it’s all about ‘the feel’ for songs like ours.”
