The band have revealed that this album was inspired by "disparate musical peers", like The Stone Roses, Kate Bush and David Bowie.
The Maccabees have a tour scheduled for January in the UK, in support of the album.
They will play five shows, starting in Glasgow at Queen Margaret's Union on January 23 and the last show will take place on January 28 in Manchester's HMV Ritz.
