BRACE, Birds of Tokyo's fifth studio album, came out on EMI on 4 November 2016, and the Perth band made no secret of the fact that they'd gone looking for trouble. After March Fires gave them their first number-one album in 2013, they told Triple J that radio wasn't going to play this one, promised a darker, dirtier rock sound, and joked that mums around the country would hate it.
David Bottrill produced, and the result delivers on the threat: heavier, more brooding and more brutal than the anthems that made their name, with Ian Kenny's voice riding over Adam Spark's guitars and Adam Weston's pounding drums. Kenny said they were chasing a dark, intense record built for the stage, and the band announced a six-date tour to prove it. The title track went out as the lead single when the album was announced on 21 September.
