There are few contemporary bands who can do musical reinvention quite as consistently as Black Country, New Road. From their Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut *For the First Time*, which touched upon everything from jazz to post-rock via klezmer music, to the art-rock meets chamber pop follow up *Ants From Up There* (both top 5 charting albums). Then when singer Isaac Wood amicably left shortly after, they wrote an entire set of new songs to tour which ended up on *Live at Bush Hall*, an album The
Guardian claimed was a “magical resurgence” in a triumphant five-star review. Now, on studio album three, the band are once again building from the ground up in yet another miraculous musical transformation.
