Hilltop Hoods have announced a new studio album and released a new song.

The trio's new studio album, their eighth, is called The Great Expanse. It's out 22 February and the 13-track effort is the group's first since departing from Golden Era Records.

Following on from the ARIA nominated dad rap of 'Clark Griswold', they've dropped a new single called 'Leave Me Lonely'.

Premiered on triple j Good Nights, MC Suffa jokes that the new track is "a song about the eternal struggle of being cornered by a close-talker. It’s a song that’s relatable to anyone that’s ever been outside. Or in a room with more than four people." Listen below.
