Black Country, New Road return today with the announcement of a new album, "Forever Howlong", coming April 4th on Ninja Tune.
"Forever Howlong" is their first studio release since 2022's UK #3 album “Ants From Up There”, which gave the band their second Top 5 UK album in 12 months alongside their Mercury Prize shortlisted debut “For the first time”, and follows 2023's "Live at Bush Hall", an album The Guardian claimed was a “magical resurgence” in a triumphant five-star review. Now, on studio album three, the band are once again building from the ground up in yet another miraculous musical transformation.
The long-awaited new record was produced by James Ford (Fontaines D.C., Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Blur) and sees Black Country, New Road settled into a new shape in which vocal duties – and most of the song writing – is split between Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw. “It created a real through line for the album, having three girls singing," says Ellery. "It's definitely very different to Ants From Up There, because of the female perspective - and the music we've made also compliments that."
The band also share the first single and album opener with the expansive, joyous "Besties", the first Black Country, New Road studio release to feature lead vocals by Georgia Ellery.
