The Big Moon will release a new album this autumn.
'Forever', the follow-up to 2022's 'Here Is Everything' and its 2023 deluxe edition, will arrive on October 30 via Fiction Records.
Recorded in three weeks at Norfolk's Bam Bam Studios with Sam Cohen co-producing alongside the band, the album looks at life after big changes, with much of it shaped by frontwoman Juliette Jackson's 2024 diagnosis of a cholesteatoma, which led to surgery and permanent hearing loss in one ear. She explained:
"It was pretty much existential, because writing songs is my job and my identity. I just decided to write songs for this imaginary time, one or two years in the future, when I would be all healed and happy again. I didn't know if I would ever get to that point but, by projecting and almost tricking myself into it, it actually became a really nice way of writing."
Bassist Celia Archer added: "They're not trivial songs lyrically or thematically or musically, but Jules has shown us you can face all this stuff and choose to be hopeful and find power from it. Hopefully other people can apply that to their own lives."
To celebrate the announcement, the London quartet have shared the record's opening track and lead single, Gravity, a vulnerable indie-pop song built on a propulsive beat. Jackson said:
"At the time I wrote this song, every time I collected my son from nursery he would run and slam into me and give me the biggest hug. I knew it wouldn't last forever, and I savoured every one, and this song ended up commemorating that feeling. It's about a love that you're never really separated from, just elasticated, ready to snap back together."
The band will support the new record with the Forever Tour of the UK this autumn, with stops lined up in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol, Brighton, Manchester, Leeds and London, where they'll wrap up the run with their biggest headline show to date at the O2 Academy Brixton on November 27.
