One of New Zealand's most successful bands of recent times, Evermore, are coming back home for a visit.

Jon, Pete, and Dann Hume will be touching down in their homeland on Wednesday 5 September, having spent the last two years touring the world with Pink and working on their brand new album. The product of that work, Follow The Sun, is released on October 12, and the boys thought a trip back home would be the perfect way to launch the next chapter in their already stellar career.

Follow The Sun is Evermore's fourth full length studio album, following on from the stellar debut Dreams, the iconic Real Life, and the remarkable Truth Of The World: Welcome To The Show.

The titular first single from Follow The Sun is out now, and encompasses all of what Evermore does best: creating emotive, stirring, anthemic songs to rouse the soul and please the ears. 'Follow The Sun' is accompanied by a fun-loving music video created the band and a few close friends.

The new album features Evermore's most personal and ambitious work to date, being self-recorded, produced, and mixed. As Jon describes, “I'd always had this idea to take a mobile studio to inspiring places around the world and record the results, so that's exactly what we did. We went to LA, Buenos Aires, Paris, Jerusalem, Spain and Morocco. It was an amazing trip, so many experiences I'll never forget…getting patted down for weapons by cops on the side of the freeway outside Los Angeles after we ran out of gas, getting completely lost in the maze of ancient streets and incredible food that is Marrakech. The trip added musical richness to the album and songs but ultimately we wrote more of the songs at home at our own studio, the Stables.”

Evermore will be in New Zealand from September 5 to promote their new album.

Follow The Sun is released October 12.
