Cameron Picton – the bassist, vocalist and co-songwriter previously of Black Midi – has founded a new band, My New Band Believe.

The four-piece are set to release their debut self-titled album, which takes in eight tracks, via Rough Trade in April. Kiran Leonard, guitarist Caius Williams, drummer Steve Noble and drummer Andrew Cheetham all contribute guest turns on the record.

To mark the announcement of the band and album, My New Band Believe have shared their first single, ‘Numerology’, which doesn’t appear on the LP itself. The song will be released as a bonus 10-inch with a special edition of the album, and can be listened to below.

The band will head out on their debut headline tour of the UK through April and May, playing shows in Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, London, Bristol, Cambridge and Oxford. They will also play at The Hague’s Rewire festival on April 11, while shows in North America will follow through May and June.

Rough Trade will release My New Band Believe on 10 April 2026.
