About this item

Black Country, New Road return with Forever Howlong, their first studio album since 2022’s seminal Ants From Up There earned the band their second Top 5 UK album in just 12 months following their Mercury Prize-shortlisted debut For the first time. The highly anticipated new album follows 2023’s Live at Bush Hall, with the legendary James Ford (Fontaines D.C, The Last Dinner Party, Beth Gibbons) taking the helm as producer, and vocal duties now shared between Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: An expansive, thematically diverse new album from the brilliant Black Country New Road here, smoothly dealing with the loss of main vocalist Isaac Wood and with it presenting a very different recipe from most of the same ingredients. It's avant rock, as always but there are more hints of beguiling prog and whispered odball folk, lilting Americana and scuzzy garage rock. Brilliantly weird, and perfectly new sounding, BCNR are back!
