Mercury Prize-nominated Black Country, New Road have taken to their socials to announce new single “Besties”
"Besties" marks their first studio recording since 2022’s, Ants From Up There, and follows Live at Bush Hall – the band’s live album of entirely new material from 2023.
Over the past week, billboards have appeared all over London, featuring Black Country, New Road's updated logo and an interactive red button which, when pushed, lights up a star. Notably, the billboard features the date 04/04/25, which alludes to a release date for more new music.
"Besties" is set for release on 30 January.
