UK synth prog quartet Kyros have announced that they will release their latest studio album, Mannequin, through White Star Records on February 2. At the same time the band have streamed their brand new single Ghosts Of You, which you can listen to below.
Mannequin sees the recorded debut of bassist Charlie Cawood, who has worked with The Anchoress, Anathema, Knifeworld, the Mediaeval Baebes among others, and who replaced Peter Episcopo back in July.
"Our upcoming album, Mannequin is like peeling back layers of paint on an old canvas," explains vocalist and keyboardist Shelby Logan Warne. "With each track, we're exploring the masks we all wear, the stories we tell ourselves to get by.
"This album is a real heart-on-sleeve affair for us and it's probably the most 'us' we've ever sounded. It's about what happens when the façade cracks and you're left with nothing but the truth. Nothing but your true self. We can't wait for everyone to hear it and perhaps see themselves in it, just like we do."
Mannequin will be available as a limited edition double orange vinyl, digipak CD and digital album. You can see the new album artwork and tracklisting below.
The band have also announced a short run of live dates for April, including an appearance at Winter's End Festival in Chepstow. Support for the Brighton, Reading and Southampton shows comes from Azure and Leoni Jane Kennedy.
