Feeder, 2023.

Feeder have announced news of a new ‘Black’/’Red’ double album, as well as details of a UK tour set for next year. Check out new singles ‘Playing With Fire’ and ‘ELF’ below.

Set for release next April, ‘Black’/’Red’ marks the first double album from the British rock band, and completes a trilogy of albums joined to 2022’s ‘Torpedo’.

According to the band, the tracks across ‘Black’ and ‘Red’ both carry the same aura of “open space, freedom and possibility” as seen with last year’s LP, but sees them connected by their optimistic energy, rather than through a specific concept.

It also sees the members both acknowledge where they are in their current songwriting process, as well as acknowledge their evolution across the decades.

“I really wanted the album to be split in two parts for the listener, CD1 and CD2, black and red rather than be one long player, almost like a musical production with an interval,” said frontman Grant Nicholas of the double album.

“Making it was a very creative time for me as a writer and a real labour of love. Making the ‘Black’/’Red’ album for me personally was a musical pilgrimage and I feel the end result is undeniable Feeder.”

To celebrate the announcement, the band have today (October 23) shared two new tracks from the forthcoming release, ‘Playing With Fire’ and ‘ELF’.

The former sees Nicholas and co. reaffirm their signature sound, and comes rife with electrifying riffs, whereas the latter is more of an epic ballad, which the frontman describes as “a call to arms”.
