Forever Howlong

BLACK Country, New Road’s third studio record confirms the Cambridge six-piece as one of the most interesting, shapeshifting bands in the UK right now.
Their 2021 debut, an often unhinged shot of post-rock, was followed by the Arcade Fire-influenced Ants from Up There in 2022. Both records were driven forward by the talk-singing of frontman Isaac Wood, and both had many critics in raptures.
