By definition, ‘Sanctuary’ is a word that generally refers to a place of respite- “a retreat or a haven”. Their artistry in this album truly lives up to this- offering an entry into another world, a wonderland both immersive and escapist.

‘Sanctuary’ has already been teased with three singles; ‘Not For Sale’, ‘Love You 2’ and ‘Head In The Clouds’, now the further ten tracks have arrived, completing this delectable collection. The full album perfectly encompasses Thunder Fox’s personality, showing off the gorgeous melting pot of styles that they bring to the table. Driven by the captivating vocals of frontman Sam Dawes, each song fills out the sonic space with exciting elements; think sprinklings of swinging horns and big gospel notes.

Commenting on the experience they had creating the album, they said: “From the 9 am drum sessions beating on our hungover brains to the 3 am drunk fuckery of adding as many flavours as we could tastefully add, it was the time of our lives. The end result is every bit as twisting, turning, danceable and wild as our fans have come to expect but with a newfound confidence in our messaging, in our production and in the songs themselves. “
