Stream Black Country, New Road's new album 'Live At Bush Hall'
After releasing concert film Live At Bush Hall earlier this year, Black Country, New Road have now released it in album form to streaming services and revealed a physical release is coming on May 26 via Ninja Tune (pre-order). The album is made up of new material that BC,NR wrote specifically for tour and have been performing since the departure of vocalist Isaac Wood (although much of the music has been informally shared online). “A lot of our fans, especially when we were putting this stuff together, played a huge part in spreading the songs which meant that people could listen to them without us putting them out in the first place,” explains guitarist Luke Mark.
Likewise, Live At Bush Hall marks the first recorded music since BC,NR eschewed the idea of a frontperson, with bassist Tyler Hyde, pianist May Kershaw, and saxophonist Lewis Evans splitting primary vocal duties, with Tyler opening the show on “Up Song,” May detailing the chapters of “The Boy,” and Lewis pulling at heartstrings on “The Wrong Trousers.” As with the concert film, Live At Bush Hall meshes Black Country, New Road’s fully realized orchestral sound (drawing on their myriad folk and post-rock influences) with a raw vulnerability and stirring electricity. Stream the album and check out the artwork and tracklist below.
