Middle Kids today announced their audaciously titled second album, Today We’re The Greatest, a vivid collection of 12 songs that are at times deeply personal and courageous, while simultaneously raucous and rattling.
Today, Australian trio Middle Kids (Hannah Joy, Harry Day and Tim Fitz) have shared a new track, titled “Beliefs and Prayers”, from their upcoming six-track EP New Songs For Old Problems. The EP will be out May 24th, 2019 through Domino.
