Brit rockers Thunder have confirmed the release of their 14th studio album. Dopamine is the band's first double set, and is preceded by the first single and video from the album, The Western Sky.

'We didn’t set out to make a double album," says guitarist Luke Morley. "But as the writing and recording process went on we wandered into some interesting areas and then it became a case of 'can we afford to leave any of this off?’ In the end we did reduce it from 20 tunes to 16 but it wasn’t an easy choice.”

The title 'Dopamine’ was inspired by the way people turned to social media during lockdown, seeking both solace and excitement from the affirmation provided by 'liked' pictures, posts and comments.
