Hey guys! Huge fan here after taking a punt and buying Get To Heaven back in December 2015 and seeing you support Foals in manchester last year, one of the best decisions I've made!

I have a few little questions for ye

1) I gotta ask for the "At The Border" fam... MAN ALIVE VINYL REISSUE WHEN?

2) Of all the new songs on the album, which are your favourites? I was lucky enough to see you guys in Nottingham, Manchester and Glasgow recently and I loved all the new material, particularly Ivory Tower, A Fever Dream and Night Of The Long Knives.

3) For Jon...Would I be right in thinking that recent political events, or rather the division that these have caused, are a central theme on AFD lyrically? I get this in particular from the title track ("I hate the neighbours, they hate me too") and the rather awesome title for Night Of The Long Knives, which I assume is a reference to the systematic arrests/executions of Hitler's political opponents in, I think, 1933 (GCSE history coming in handy there, haha). I feel this is certainly an interesting progression from the very violent Get To Heaven... from what I've heard this album is more suspicious and fearful. Like how Run The Numbers seems to reference the post-truth world we now unfortunately live in. Would love to know your thoughts

4) Is it true you took your name from Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place"? Seeing them again after you guys at TRNSMT was pretty damn awesome. My favourite bands in one place!

5) It's been a few weeks since the excellent Can't Do was released but we're hungry for more. Any chance of a cheeky new single being dropped some time very soon^{IvoryTowerPls} ?

6) PLEASE tour the UK again soon. Your live show is incredible. Was also wondering how you choose which songs to fit into the setlist? I'd love to see the likes of NASA, Final Form, Treasure Set and Warm Healer make an appearance again. Also, it was a pleasure talking to you briefly in Manchester, Alex!

7) And lastly, all hail neckbeards

Thanks for doing this guys!!

I've been doing the same for 10 years but I can't sing for shit haha

oh my god this AMA is amazing

do you still feel that way now that the album has been out for a few weeks?

Damn man unlucky haha. I'll let the ATB guys know

Thanks for replying! Ivory Tower certainly looks fun to play, and even more fun to listen to!

Shame that's the state of political discourse these days but it seems now people are starting to realise the vitriol isn't worth it. I hope that's the case, anyway
