Black Country, New Road have revealed their third album titled 'Forever Howlong'.

      Black Country, New Road are back, bringing exciting news of a new album, a new song, and a UK/EU headline tour. The much-awaited follow-up to 2022’s ‘Ants From Up There’ (and the 2023 live album ‘Live At Bush Hall’), their third studio LP titled ‘Forever Howlong’ is scheduled for release on April 4th via Ninja Tune. The band undergoes another transformation, with vocals and primary songwriting responsibilities now shared among Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw, following the departure of former vocalist Isaac Wood in 2022. Georgia, who is also part of Jockstrap, stated, “Having three girls singing created a real through line for the album.” She added, “It’s definitely very different from ‘Ants From Up There’ because of the female perspective—and the music we’ve made also complements that.” BC,NR have kicked off this new chapter with the release of the lead single ‘Besties,’ a characteristically unpredictable and musically rich track featuring Georgia on lead vocals. The official video for ‘Besties,’ directed by the award-winning Rianne White, is set to be released in a few hours, so stay tuned! In the meantime, you can find details about BC,NR’s newly announced tour dates below. After spending 2024 performing material from ‘Forever Howlong’ across the US and at various UK festivals, BC,NR will debut their new album live this Autumn with a series of UK and European shows, culminating in a spectacular performance at London’s Brixton Academy on Halloween night. Tickets will go on general sale at 10 am local time on Friday, February 7th; check out the band’s complete live schedule below.
