Forever Howlong (Collector’s Edition)

Forever Howlong, the highly anticipated third studio album by Black Country, New Road, is set for release on April 4, 2025, under Ninja Tune. This album represents a new chapter for the band, as it’s their first studio release since the departure of Isaac Wood in 2022. Instead of bringing in a new frontperson, the group has embraced a shared vocal and songwriting approach, with Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw taking the lead. This shift introduces a fresh, intimate, and emotionally rich perspective to their music.

Produced by James Ford—known for his work with Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, and Fontaines D.C.—the album showcases the band’s ability to evolve while staying true to their signature experimental sound. The lead single, “Besties,” with Georgia Ellery on vocals, has already generated buzz, giving fans a glimpse of the album’s dynamic and eclectic nature.

For collectors and die-hard fans, a special Collector’s Edition of Forever Howlong will be available. This exclusive version includes a deluxe translucent eco jazz red double vinyl, a beautifully crafted oil paint effect gatefold sleeve, and a 24-page color booklet. Additionally, it features an alternate tracklisting and an MP3 download code, making it a must-have for devoted listeners.

With Forever Howlong, Black Country, New Road continues to challenge expectations, delivering an album that is both ambitious and deeply personal. This release cements their status as one of the most innovative and boundary-pushing bands in contemporary music.
