The first single, "Our Velocity," will be readied for a March 19 release. The set was produced by Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, The Pixies) and features a few songs from the period of the band's first effort, "A Certain Trigger."

NME reports on the singer's take on the soon-to-be unveiled work:

Singer Paul Smith said of the record: "Thanks to two years of touring the world and with the contribution of Gil Norton, 'Our Earthly Pleasures' is a heavy, eye-opening record. It's rock music without the clichés, dealing with the world on an emotional level. Ultimately we want to reach as many people as possible because we feel this record has the ability to inspire and affect people."
The tracklisting for the album is as follows:
'Girls Who Play Guitars'
'Our Velocity'
