will feature an exclusive new track “Fleeting Love” on the B-side. The single’s cover art has been designed by renowned artists Time Noble and Sue Webster.

‘More News From Nowhere’ will be available on CD, 7” and download.

In a statement from the band Cave say the song has “nothing to do with the classic work of utopian fiction (1890) by William Morris. What interests me most about ‘More News From Nowhere’ is that quite possible, although I can’t be completely sure, the central character is dead and his story is just a kind of posthumous bad-trip, a death-trip, so to speak.”
