If 'Sacrilege' is anything, then it's a return to the roots. Listening to it made me feel very close to the band's early days, when the alternative trio made (if you ask me) their best music.

The four-year silence was broken, however, when the group announced the drop date of its fourth album, dubbed  Mosquito (yes, for the insect), two weeks ago on their site .
