Following their headliner at Castlepalooza and a summer of indie-socked festival sets, the English band have made the announcement that they are breaking up.

In a letter posted on social media, the band said: "Our hearts and minds have been devoted to the band since we were teenagers. We've created something quite of our own and built a body of work which we stand by as heartfelt and true.

“The four of us have decided, for our own reasons and in our own ways, that it is now time to leave this orbit.

"We’re care takers to something precious and don’t want to have it diminish as we move forwards in our lives.

"Thank you for your love and energy and for helping us make it what it is. We consider ourselves remarkably fortunate to have lived out this dream.

“Before we go, we’d like to celebrate with you.”
