There is good news for patient Jezabels fans as they have announced a national tour in celebration of their upcoming album – 'Synthia'.
The Jezabels return with their third studio LP to be released earlier next year. After 18 months off the road, writing and recording with long-time producer Lachlan Mitchell, The Jezabels will tour the country in February and March with special guest, electro pop newcomer Eves The Behavior.

High expectations are a given now for The Jezabels, comprised by Sam Lockwood, Hayley Mary, Nik Kaloper and Heather Shannon. Seven years since their first EPs 'The Man Is Dead', 'She’s So Hard' and 'Dark Storm' gave them a dedicated fanbase and platform; four years since their debut effort 'Prisoner' scooped the Australian Music Prize and set stages ablaze from their breakthrough performance at Splendour In The Grass to Lollapalooza; and almost two years since sophomore LP 'The Brink', with talk about live performance slots at Montreal Jazz Festival, Glastonbury, T In The Park and Deichbrand.

Although the first official single from the new album isn’t due for release until early 2016, the band have released the video for six-minute epic ‘Come Alive’ online to give fans a taste of what’s to come. A veritable story in its own right, Hayley's vocals sit hauntingly on top of the animated vignette, made by the rag-tag animation collective known as 'Oh Yeah Wow'.

Hayley had this to say about the song: "what would you say on your deathbed? What will your regrets be? I think mine might be, ‘I was scared’. So take that and act on it now. Now that, for western women at least, some of the real, tangible obstacles are being dismantled, we've got to approach the internal ones.”
