Black Country, New Road Unveil New Album, ‘Forever Howlong’

The record sees the band settle into a new shape, sharing vocal and writing duties

Black Country, New Road have announced their third studio album, Forever Howlong.

Spanning 11 tracks, it follows 2022’s Ants From Up There and sees the band settle into a new shape following the departure of lead vocalist and guitarist Isaac Wood in 2022. For the new record, vocals and songwriting duties are largely shared between members Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery and May Kershaw.

“It created a real through line for the album, having three girls singing,”said Ellery in a statement. “It’s definitely very different to Ants From Up There, because of the female perspective – and the music we’ve made also compliments that.”

Ellery’s vocals appear on album opener ‘Besties’, which you can watch a video for below.

The band will tour Europe and North America extensively through this year in support of Forever Howlong. You can find the full list of upcoming live dates here.

Ninja Tune will release Forever Howlong on April 4, 2025.
