Last year, the band shared the first taste of their upcoming album via the sublime "Rockets" feat. Moe Moks which received first looks on Noisey and Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, and was followed up with "Hit The Ceiling" which featured on the second season of Issa Rae's Golden Globe-nominated HBO series Insecure - alongside their track "Jump Hi" featuring Childish Gambino - and also features on the show's official soundtrack alongside tracks from artists such as SZA, Bryson Tiller and Goldlink. The forthcoming album will be their first commercial release since the band's critically celebrated debut studio album Begin, which was released in 2016 and featured collaborations with the likes of Pharrell Williams and Childish Gambino and career-defining tracks such as "Treat Me Like Fire" and "Jump Hi". Also in 2016, they released the electrifying mixtape Sun Joint, which coincided with their first headline US tour and a string of international festival performances, including Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and more. Astro Raw shared his debut mixtape project, rawmix vol 1 last year. The 14-track project mixes Astro Raw's dynamic, one-of-a-kind production with his infectious, genre-defying sounds, seamlessly mixing R&B, hip-hop, soul, funk and dance - creating a sound that The 405 described as "sonic crack.". He recently dropped electric, dancefloor-ready remixes for Post Malone's "Rockstar" featuring 21 Savage and Cardi B's Grammy nominated anthem 'Bodak Yellow'.
