Oh Wonder have returned with details of their fourth album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'No One Else Can Wear Your Crown' is called '22 Break' and will arrive on October 8 via Island Records.
Penned by Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West at their home studio shortly after the release of its predecessor, the deeply personal LP chronicles a stormy time in the London pop duo's relationship at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. As Vander Gucht puts it: "We were just writing songs. We had no idea we were writing a break-up album."
With the 11 tracks complete, the couple went away in September 2020 and finally talked things out. West reflected: "It was such a weird thing, to make a break-up album with the person you’re breaking up with, while you’re breaking up."
The pair teased the record earlier this September, sharing a cinematic clip which also included a snippet of the opening song, Baby. As further preview, they've dropped the title track, which unfurls around melancholic keys and emotive strings. Press play below, alongside the record's artwork.
Oh Wonder will support the record with tour dates in North America and Europe in 2022, along with rescheduled UK and Ireland stops in Southampton, Cardiff, Liverpool, Nottingham, Glasgow, Dublin, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, London, and Norwich in April. Original tickets will be honoured, and a new release of tickets will become available at 9am local time on October 1.
