UK quartet Hooton Tennis Club have announced their second album, Big Box of Chocolates, which they’ll release October 21 via Heavenly. The record was produced by Edwyn Collins at his Helmsdale, Scotland studio, and first single is “Katy-Anne Bellis,” an ode to a former flatmate. “She’d lived in the house for one year and three months,” says co-frontman Ryan Murphy. “It’s just a mushy song about moving house and staying in touch.” Listen below.

Hooton Tennis Club’s debut album was one of my favorites of 2015, and you may have caught the band in NYC last year for CMJ. They’ve got no plans to tour here at the moment but will be all over the UK and Europe this fall. All tour dates, along with album art, tracklist and announcement video, below.
