Album Review: Local Authority – Negative Space

New Music: Habitats return with glorious new single, Peace of Mind
Following on from their impossibly melodic debut single Diamond Days, London four piece Habitats have returned with a new single, Peace of Mind, which drops on 3rd November on Label Fandango.
