UK art-punk band Black Country, New Road have announced their debut album.

“We see this as being a stop in the road,” says vocalist Isaac Wood in a press release. “I’ve always been interested in a really honest portrayal of what a band is and what they’ve been working on. I think it’s really nice if people can see an artist like: this was them in the early days, this was their next phase and that they’re quite clear and honest about genuine progression as people and musicians.”
