Our guests today are the beloved British indie collective Black Country, New Road. The acclaimed art-rock band recently returned with their third studio album Forever Howlong—a bold and beautiful leap forward in both sound and spirit. Following the 2022 departure of frontman Isaac Wood—just before the release of their beloved second album Ants From Up There—the six remaining members embraced a new, collaborative direction. With no single frontperson, the group now shares the spotlight, crafting a more eclectic, playful, and emotionally resonant sound connecting with fans worldwide. In today’s episode, we’re joined by Luke Mark and Georgia Ellery to chat about the creative process behind Forever Howlong, working with producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Kylie Minogue), and how this record marks a new era for the band. We also dive into standout track “For The Cold Country” and explore how the band is navigating this exciting chapter together.
