Black Country, New Road return with the news that their second album, “Ants From Up There”, will land on February 4th on Ninja Tune. Following on almost exactly a year to the day from the release of their acclaimed debut “For the first time”, the band have harnessed the momentum from that record and run full pelt into their second, with “Ants From Up There” managing to strike a skilful balance between feeling like a bold stylistic overhaul of what came before, as well as a natural progression.
Released alongside the announcement the band (Lewis Evans, May Kershaw, Charlie Wayne, Luke Mark, Isaac Wood, Tyler Hyde and Georgia Ellery) have also today shared the first single from the album, ‘Chaos Space Marine’, a track that has already become a live favourite with fans since its first public airings earlier this year - combining sprightly violin, rhythmic piano, and stabs of saxophone to create something infectiously fluid that builds to a rousing crescendo. It’s a track that frontman Isaac Wood calls “the best song we’ve ever written.” It’s a chaotic yet coherent creation that ricochets around unpredictably but also seamlessly. “We threw in every idea anyone had with that song,” says Wood. “So the making of it was a really fast, whimsical approach - like throwing all the shit at the wall... and just letting everything stick.”
Their debut “For the first time” is a certain 2021 Album of the Year, having received ecstatic reviews from critics and fans alike as well as being shortlisted for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize. Released in February to extensive, global, critical support - perhaps best summed up by The Times who wrote in their 5/5 review that they were "the most exciting band of 2021" and The Observer who called their record "one of the best albums of the year" - the album made a significant dent on the UK Albums Chart where it landed at #4 in its first week, a remarkable achievement for a largely experimental debut record. The album also reached #1 on Any Decent Music, #2 at Album Of The Year and sat at #1 on Rate Your Music for several weeks, remaining the record to generate the most fan reviews and site discussion there this year. Black Country, New Road were also declared Artist Of The Week and Album Of The Week by The Observer, The Line Of Best Fit and Stereogum, and saw features, including covers and reviews, from the likes of Mojo, NPR, CRACK, Uncut, The Quietus, Pitchfork, The FADER, Loud & Quiet, The Face, Paste, The Needle Drop, DIY, NME, CLASH, So Young, Dork and more.
With “For the first time” the band melded klezmer, post-rock, indie and an often intense spoken word delivery. On “Ants From Up There” they have expanded on this unique concoction to create a singular sonic middle ground that traverses classical minimalism, indie-folk, pop, alt rock and a distinct tone that is already unique to the band.
Recorded at Chale Abbey Studios, Isle Of Wight, across the summer with the band’s long-term live engineer Sergio Maschetzko, it’s also an album that comes loaded with a deep-rooted conviction in the end result. “We were just so hyped the whole time,” says Hyde. “It was such a pleasure to make. I've kind of accepted that this might be the best thing that I'm ever part of for the rest of my life. And that's fine.”
Black Country, New Road's live performances have already gained legendary status from fans and has seen them labelled "one of the UK's best live bands" by The Guardian. After the success of their livestream direct from London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre, stand-out performances at SXSW and the BBC 6 Music Festival, and following a sold-out UK tour this summer, high-profile festival appearances, and a 43 date UK & EU tour to follow in the Autumn with sold out US dates next year, the London-based seven-piece today announce further UK & IE dates in support of the album for April 2022, preceded by their biggest London headliner to date at The Roundhouse in February.
Black Country, New Road Live at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road, will be available as part of the Deluxe LP and CD versions of ‘Ants From Up There’.
Fans who pre-order any format of ‘Ants From Up There’ from the Black Country, New Road store, their Bandcamp page and the Ninja Tune shop, will be able to gain access to the pre-sale for the 2022 UK headline tour dates.

一些流水账,碎片听后感
Intro 有心的听者应该可以发现开篇intro和最后一轨Basketball Shoes的收尾是连续的(数字音乐的胜利?),这个在某种意义上对recurring motif的运用从Basketball Shoes末尾(时间戳大概在12:17左右)贯穿到了Intro的终止。 Intro中被小提琴零星点缀,萨克斯作主导的段落重复也许...

我觉得《ANTS FROM UP THERE》是2022年最好的专辑,甚至这张专辑对乐坛的影响颇具里程碑意义(个人10/10) 1.这张专辑一共十首歌,被切割成三段,每一部分所代表的意义和情绪都是不一样的:乐队成员童年时期对太空/环球旅行/世界的幻想;乐队成员经历了非常破碎的成长经历,期...

我的感觉就是如果他们能从第一张的slint式“黑暗”“扭曲”里彻底转型出来就更好了,直接变成拱火式的神经病室内独立摇,而不是让后核的影子拽着,反而是在拖累他们越来越掩盖不住的华丽倾向和野心。好几个瞬间,主唱那低沉的唱腔如果能像Win Butler那样毫不顾忌的用破锣嗓吼出来就能让我热泪盈眶了,这样不但音乐性上更好,流行度也可能冲破(rym based)乐迷圈自嗨 84/100

对我来说也许这张新专辑更像是Art-Rock,尽管有更长的Post-Rock框架下的情绪铺垫和一些Math-Rock的Riff。或者说我不想将它定义为任何Genre,它是我们的时代之声,是各种喜好碰撞融合后的全新艺术。器乐依然精彩,鼓和管乐技术如此坚实,弦乐将个人情绪抬高并放置于更开阔的感情平面,有些部分的旋律与和声走向简直在闪闪发光。但是它整体并不是因光亮而生,而是为表达而生,主唱进一步传递着强... 对我来说也许这张新专辑更像是Art-Rock,尽管有更长的Post-Rock框架下的情绪铺垫和一些Math-Rock的Riff。或者说我不想将它定义为任何Genre,它是我们的时代之声,是各种喜好碰撞融合后的全新艺术。器乐依然精彩,鼓和管乐技术如此坚实,弦乐将个人情绪抬高并放置于更开阔的感情平面,有些部分的旋律与和声走向简直在闪闪发光。但是它整体并不是因光亮而生,而是为表达而生,主唱进一步传递着强大的情感力量,听着这样的声音,他的离队更加让人觉得遗憾和悲伤。 (展开)

9.2 去年听他们首专的时候还在想他们整体呈现出的气质和效果还是略显稚嫩,但有很大的潜力,没想到仅仅一年过后他们就已经成熟了那么多:漂亮的和弦、华丽的器乐、丰满的编排与和声、以及更加内省的情感厚度。尽管如此他们的音乐依旧很“极简主义”:不靠繁杂的细节取胜,而是靠着器乐之间的cohesion以及prog结构所带来的循序递进感。事实证明他们从未被乐队首张专辑所带来的成功束缚,用这张充满着喷涌的情感力量... 9.2 去年听他们首专的时候还在想他们整体呈现出的气质和效果还是略显稚嫩,但有很大的潜力,没想到仅仅一年过后他们就已经成熟了那么多:漂亮的和弦、华丽的器乐、丰满的编排与和声、以及更加内省的情感厚度。尽管如此他们的音乐依旧很“极简主义”:不靠繁杂的细节取胜,而是靠着器乐之间的cohesion以及prog结构所带来的循序递进感。事实证明他们从未被乐队首张专辑所带来的成功束缚,用这张充满着喷涌的情感力量的slow-burning art rock epic彻底打破了首专带给人们的印象,如此和谐,如此蓬勃的生机,这是Isaac献给世人最完美的谢幕。又有谁能想得到一年之后他们竟然在不丢失自身特质的前提下从Slint摇身一变成为了Arcade Fire?一个不会故步自封的乐队才是真正有无穷生命力的乐队。 (展开)

3.5 夸张动态大多都很俗 判若两队地抛掉首专的吉他和能量更多漏出学院乐器的无趣(就静静地听着折腾半天很无感…)这队的配置和这专方向想到broken social scene 但明显不如后者独立和扎实 部分确实很流行且情绪略浅层 另外 发专前的造势挺成功
