With their new album, titled "Tides And Tides", set for a release on 7 December 2009 initially via iTunes, and then on 10 December 2009 in physical form, the band released a free download of the first single on the album on 9 November 2009. Called "Kid Go Get It", the song was made available through their website and Myspace site, accompanied by the companion video for the song. "Tides and Tides" boasts a wide range of new material and a move away from the band's earlier, more Biffy Clyro influenced, releases. The album was mixed by Brad Wood in Los Angeles, who declared himself a fan of the band after listening to the mixes sent to him. The album saw the band play a set of three pre-release shows over the weekend of 4–6 December in Belfast, London and Glasgow.
