Black Country, New Road announce Forever Howlong, 2025 tour

Black Country, New Road have shared details of their new studio album Forever Howlong, the British experimental rock group’s third LP, out April 4 via Ninja Tune. The lead single from Forever Howlong is a glittering paisley-colored number called “Besties,” is out today as well; Georgia Ellery of the experimental electronic duo Jockstrap performs lead vocal duties.

Foever Howlong is produced by James Ford, and is Black Country, New Road’s first album since founding singer Isaac Wood left the band in 2022. Stepping up to his duties are the band’s Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw, who share lead vocals and most of the album’s songwriting. “It created a real through line for the album, having three girls singing,” Ellery says in a press 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.”

Later this year, Black Country, New Road will embark on a world tour. Scroll down to see all those dates.
