The British band Black Country, New Road has just dropped their latest album, “Forever Howlong,” and it’s already making waves! This is their third studio album, hitting the scene today through Ninja Tune. It comes after their big 2022 release “Ants From Up There” and last year’s live album “Live at Bush Hall.”
This time, the band’s mixing things up. After their old singer Isaac Wood left in 2022, three members—Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw—are now sharing the singing and writing duties. Georgia Ellery said, “Having three girls singing ties the album together. It’s really different from our last one because of that fresh perspective, and the music matches it perfectly.” The album was made with producer James Ford, who’s worked with big names like Arctic Monkeys and Fontaines D.C.
“Forever Howlong” has 11 tracks, kicking off with their lead single “Besties,” which came out in January with a fun video. Fans also got a taste of “Happy Birthday” last month, showing off the band’s new sound. The album blends all kinds of styles—think folk, prog, and pop with a twist—while still feeling like classic Black Country, New Road. Tracks like “Socks,” “Two Horses,” and the title song “Forever Howlong” are already getting people talking.
