Escapists have announced details of their debut album alongside releasing the music video for ‘Blood’.

The band spent 2013 recording their forthcoming release with James Kenosha (Pulled Apart By Horse, Rhdoes).

Their debut album ‘Only Bodies’ is due for release on July 21st.

Speaking of the release, lead singer Simon Glancy said: “The title comes from that odd connection I have with death and how my head is often torn between the scientific and the spiritual. The past and the future too, which is often an issue for me.There’s a theme throughout of outgrowing the idea of yourself and those around you and not really knowing what’s coming ahead.

“Musically it’s everything that we wanted in an album, pulling from all of our influences to create something completely diverse that would sit on the shelf alongside those bands that made us fall in love with music. It’s the most collaborative we’ve ever been.

“Working with James was amazing as we had such a clear vision of how we wanted it to sound and how fast we wanted to work. He was so fast that we could get away with only a few takes to keep it feeling fresh but with an amazing production quality and attention to detail”

Following the announcement, the band has also released the music video for ‘Blood’ which you can watch below:
