Last week we released Good Ship Ragamuffin (as part of Uncharted, the latest from Pieces of Eight).
Sorry if you've not been able to stop humming it.

Two pieces released, and a third is right around the corner! This Friday, we're taking you off the map and into Uncharted territories! Get your ears and eyes ready for a new EP, and a new video!

A graphic showing the third Piece of Eight placed near the edge of a map on a table. The table is a roughly hewn greyish-brown wood, while the map is a ragged, frayed piece of parchment with the top left corner (the only corner visible) folded over a little. On it are depictions of clouds and waves, and the coastline of some unknown land. In the centre is a giant image of a compass star, which sits beside the tarnished metal triangle of the coin section. This piece itself shows what appear to be mountains, and perhaps a small section of a skull that just includes the top part of an eye socket.

A picture of the artwork for the Alehouse release from the Pieces of Eight collection. It shows a worn-looking table, a small section of a dull grey metal disc that may be a plate, the corners of two playing cards (a King of Diamonds and an Ace of Spades), and in the middle an eighth of a slightly tarnished gold coin. Embossed on it is the image of a simple little building, a tavern with a sign jutting out from the wall above the door, and a lonely cloud in the sky above it.

A photo of JD lying down on concrete beside the water, his head hanging out over the water, as he holds a camera on his chest to get a shot. Robbie is also present, wearing a black and white checked shirt, giving two thumbs up to the camera and looking very pleased to be there

So now you know what this was about, what songs are you hoping to hear?

A picture of a bunch of blanked out pieces of paper arranged on a table in eight groups, with three thumbs (from the band, JD, Andy, and Robbie) sticking in from the side of the frame. This refers to a previous image where ALL the paper was blanked out, but now some of them are visible, saying 'Horizon' and 'Reuban(sic) Ranzo', 'La Pique', and 'John Kanaka'

A picture from a recording session for Pieces of Eight, that shows JD, the back of Andy, and Robbie separated by soundproof screens and transparent windows, as they sing into microphones.

Thumbnail for the video of John Kanaka, the title of which is written across the middle of the image in a font that's got some fun flourishes in its serifs. Robbie, JD, and Andy are shown sitting at a table in a pub, Robbie in a colourful Hawaiian shirt and baseball cap, JD in a denim shirt, and Andy in a black shirt with red accents. They seem to be drinking, JD is pulling a face at Andy who has his hands up in disbelief.

A picture of a recording setup in the TLJ studio. Robbie stands closest to the camera, facing away, wearing headphones on, looking at the screen of his phone (for lyrics). In front of him is a mic, and then a soundproof screen with a transparent window, where JD can be seen on the other side also wearing headphones and singing into a mic. The underside of the ceiling above is coated in black soundproof tiling.

an image depicting an eighth of a weathered, tarnished golden coin, resting on a sandy background. From the middle to about halfway it is a smooth, bright gold, then against a darker background it shows a whale breaching from water, flopping backwards. Small parts of neighbouring images can be seen along the edge, but not in any way that tells you what they are.
