With their anticipated second record, Popular Manipulations due 11 August via Fat Possum, on the horizon, The Districts have revealed 'If Before I Wake'. Showing their progression from raw and exciting newcomers into one of the most assured indie outfits on the planet, Grote's characteristic, mature-beyond-years vocal and songwriting plays centre-stage around epic, almost The Killers-nodding stadium rock instrumentation. The track comes alongside confirmation of an extensive run of live shows and hints at a very special follow-up to 2015's attention-demanding A Flourish and a Spoil. -G.O'B
