Everything But the Girl<\/a> have lined up a new album, Blue Reservoir. After returning from a 24-year break, in 2023, with Fuse<\/a>, the duo of Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt is back with 10 more originals, out February 19 via Buzzin\u2019 Fly<\/a>\/Virgin Music Group<\/a>. The announcement comes with new song \u201cYoung and Dumb\u201d and a video directed by Edward Bishop from a treatment by the duo.<\/p>\n

The video was shot at London venue Moth Club, where, last year, Thorn and Watt performed a residency that informed the direction of the new material. \u201cThere was an intensity and simplicity to the Moth shows that took us back to how we started out,\u201d Thorn said in a press release. \u201cDirect, rooted in guitar and voice, a few extra colors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watt wrote and performed much of the album on a Spanish nylon-string guitar. \u201cIt is the sound of so much of the music I first connected with growing up, and I\u2019d never actually owned one,\u201d he said. \u201cIt became quite an emotional springboard for me. I found a voice I thought I\u2019d lost.\u201d Longtime collaborators Rex Horan and Evan Jenkins play double bass and drums, respectively, on Blue Reservoir, joined by percussionist Fabio de Oliveira.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everything But the Girl have lined up a new album, Blue Reservoir.
