Folk trio Stealing Sheep have announced the release of a new record called Not Real.

Despite the album's title, it will, in fact, be real, on 13 April via Heavenly. It follows their 2012 debut Into the Diamond Sun.

Not Real is inspired by "'50s exotica, electronic music and '80s pop and been influenced by the likes of Grace Jones, Maya Deren, Eden Ahbez, Delia Derbyshire, Moondog and John Carpenter."

Speaking about the record, the band highlighted the important of art and design, creating with purpose, and utilising new skills:

"We were more focused about what we are trying to do. Everything has a reason for being there... we started off in pre-production doing all the demos ourselves” say's Becky “the demos captured an atmosphere that we wanted to carry forward to the album. The result was a hypbrid of casual takes and more considered recordings.
