The record takes its title from Yoko Ono’s minimalist artwork of the same name, with the album cover directly referencing her original design – a white postcard featuring a circular cut-out – used with the artist’s permission.

The album was produced by Leo Abrahams, known for his work with Brian Eno and Frightened Rabbit, and explores themes including freedom, forgiveness, trauma, and wisdom across nine tracks.

According to press materials, the album completes a thematic trilogy spanning the band’s recent work, shifting from cosmic perspectives to more grounded social commentary and back again.It follows their 2020 album ‘A Billion Heartbeats’ and continues their evolving artistic direction.The album has already been previewed with singles such as ‘Black Sage’ and the title track ‘A Hole To See The Sky Through I’.Tickets for the tour go on sale on 5 June at 10am BST, with pre-sale access available from 3 June.
