Speaking to Radio X's George Godfrey about the track, frontman drummer Ben Thatcher said it was "part two" to Trouble's Coming and "basically a Zoom party with loads of people covered in glitter".

"We sort of stumbled on this sound, and it was immediately fun to play,” said Kerr of the new album. "That’s what sparked the creativity on the new album, the chasing of that feeling."
He added: "We realised that we didn’t have to completely destroy what we’d created so far; we just had to shift it, change it. On paper, it’s a small reinvention. But when you hear it, it sounds so fresh."
Typhoons is now available to pre-order and will be released on digital, vinyl and CD formats.
