Black Country, New Road Announce New Album ‘Forever Howlong’ and 2025 Tour

January 30, 2025 Ben Pagani

Black Country, New Road have announced their new album Forever Howlong will be released on April 4 via Ninja Tune. It will be the band’s third studio record, and first since former singer Isaac Wood announced his departure from the group days before their 2022 LP Ants From Up There. The current Black Country, New Road lineup released the record Live At Bush Hall in 2023.

The band just shared the new single “Besties,” sung by BC,NR violinist and Jockstrap member Georgia Ellery. “Besties” will be the opening track on Forever Howlong. Scroll down to see the album’s tracklist.

Forever Howlong was produced by Arctic Monkeys and Fontaines D.C. collaborator James Ford. Ellery shares lead vocals across the LP with Tyler Hyde and May Kershaw. Pre-order the album here.

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

BC,NR is also planning to tour the US, UK and EU in 2025. Find all tour dates below. Tickets go on sale next week. Purchasing information is available here.
