Black/Red is the upcoming twelfth studio album by Welsh rock band Feeder, scheduled for release on 5 April, 2024 via Big Teeth Music, Townsend Music and Absolute Label Services. It is the successor to 2022's Torpedo, completing a trilogy of albums that began with Tallulah (2019).[1][2]

Background

Lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Grant Nicholas has said that the decision to release the record as a double album was made with the listener in mind, describing it as "almost like a musical production with an interval." He also described writing the album as a "musical pilgrimage" and a "labour of love", which resulted in a record of "undeniable Feeder".[1]

Nicholas stated that '"The Knock" is a "song about a highway or road of life and the journey in which it can take us on and the challenges we face along the way". In addition, he said that he had "a very clear visual image for ["Soldiers of Love"], almost like a film soundtrack. It's the first time we've recorded bagpipes on a Feeder track as we felt they would add to the slight Celtic feel of the song. It was originally going to stay more of an acoustic style track but I felt the song could be more cinematic and grander sonically."[3]

The album will be supported by a nationwide tour of the United Kingdom through March of 2024. It is set to begin on 2 March at the Junction in Cambridge, and will end on March 28 at the Roundhouse in London.[1]
