Japan's Esprit D'Air has revealed the fourth single, "Silver Leaf", from its upcoming fourth studio album, Aeons, due on 24 October.
The song is about finding the courage to make your own choices in life, even in uncertainty, and trusting that what comes of them depends on how you move forward.
Esprit D'Air was formed in 2010 with members from Japan and England who coalesced in London. The band is led and fronted by Kai, the current guitarist of The Sisters Of Mercy.
The band has also announced a new grassroots venue tour - see the dates below. Link
