Guitarist Johnny Took said of the album:
"[It's] about how people are always looking for something better. It's got that universal sense that anyone can relate to, that exhaustion you sometimes feel trying to achieve more or be something more."[6]
Release and promotion
The album was originally scheduled for release on 24 April,[10] but in March, the band announced the album would be delayed to 10 July due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]
In a statement shared on Twitter regarding the delay, the band said:
"Our new album 'THE GLOW' will now be released on July 10. Due to everything that’s going on, we have had to postpone its release. All pre-orders will be honoured and sent out for the new date, and despite the delay [in] the release, we will have new music for you soon – stay safe x."[11][12]
Live performances
The album will be supported by a series of shows at Factory Theatre in Sydney. The band will play twelve shows between 30 July and 8 August.[6][13] The shows will operate at restricted capacity, due to restrictions imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The shows will mark the first time the Factory Theatre have held a show since mid-March.[13]
