“The decline, in a way, but it’s also hopeful.
“We’re not going to wallow in it, we always try to leave it on an optimistic note.”
Issey and Matt will kick off their own headline tour, Welcome To Urbia, in September.
Issey said: “We’re going all around the UK and we’re doing two dates at Kentish Town Forum, which is our home town.
