And hopefully there’ll be even more to come from Neck Deep in 2023, with Ben Barlow telling us in February of where things were at with their new album: “It’s coming along well! We’ve got a damn sight more of it written than people have heard, and it’s probably further along than people think. But we’re doing this record a little differently than we have done in the past. So instead of going and doing a full record in four-to-six weeks, and just being there and smashing it out, we’re kind of doing it in short little bursts out in LA, where we’re there for two weeks at a time trying to get a handful of songs, and sitting with those for a bit.
“There’s always a thing of six months after a record is out the artist is sat there going, ‘We should’ve changed that, we should’ve done that…’ We’re trying to alleviate that as much as possible, and give ourselves time to sit with the songs and see how they feel after a month. So while a lot of it’s done, we’re taking our time with it to just make sure that it’s the best we can be. I’m not gonna give any timelines here, but there will be pretty steady releases leading up to it!”
