This year they’ve already shared their well-received single “Rooftops” and now bring us their latest release with their brand new single titled “France.” Recorded during the same session as their previous single at That Sound Studio in North London, the track was mixed and mastered by Nicolas Essig whose previous credits include the likes of Lana Del Rey, Jaden Smith, Mark Ronson and Coldplay.
