In a recent Instagram post the band ended the commentary with a hint towards their fourth album coming out in 2022! Can't wait

Oh wow! I hope this happens, I was expecting them to disappear for a few years again.
Posted by: Bjork 4th January 2022, 08:14 PM
same, but glad that's not the case and they're back sooner than later
Posted by: lewistgreen 4th January 2022, 08:14 PM
The gap between albums is getting shorter and shorter. 2 years is pretty standard and I can't imagine we'll get anything quite so soon but one will hope for something before Q3.

LG have been confirmed to have a new, original song on the new 'Gran Turismo' game soundtrack! The game's out on March 4th, so not long to wait 
Posted by: lewistgreen 13th February 2022, 02:04 PM
There's a remix of Baby It's You being included but I haven't heard anything about a new song, where did you read it?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th February 2022, 02:19 PM
Ah I saw that the advert stated “original music by...” and presumed it would be a whole new song like the other artists on there, oh well! Hopefully it won’t be long.

So much for it releasing in 2022 
Posted by: Christmasteve201 10th December 2023, 10:23 PM
Heard that on the news today and thought we must be getting something soon!
Posted by: lewistgreen 14th March 2024, 06:55 PM
Announced as performers on The Park Stage at Glastonbury today. Can't wait to hear some new music from them over the summer
Posted by: Steve201 14th March 2024, 07:04 PM
Is it confirmed they have new music soon?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 14th March 2024, 07:25 PM
No, but it's very likely with the festival slots they have!
Posted by: Steve201 15th March 2024, 07:37 PM
Hopefully soon enough then ❤️
Posted by: Bjork 18th March 2024, 02:17 PM

Posted by: Steve201 18th March 2024, 05:38 PM
❤️ excited!
Posted by: lewistgreen 18th March 2024, 07:16 PM
This week?? I'd love that to be true but maybe a Hottest Record on Radio 1 next week instead? Very happy we're getting something sooner rather than later
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 27th March 2024, 11:59 AM
New single is out tomorrow!
Posted by: lewistgreen 27th March 2024, 04:24 PM
Where have you seen the confirmation? We don't even know what it's called. The announcement is at 10am tomorrow so we'll know then if it's also out tomorrow or when it's due for release
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 27th March 2024, 05:08 PM
Ah, I must've just seen that there's an announcement tomorrow.

The album is out on September 13th, a preview of the lead single can be heard here - https://music.apple.com/nz/album/the-greatest-love/1736170738
Sounds decent, but nowhere near on the level of 'Baby It's You' so far.
Posted by: Bjork 4th April 2024, 12:48 PM
oh I really like it, sounds nice enough on 1st listen
Posted by: Steve201 4th April 2024, 02:26 PM
It stated it ‘wasn’t available in my country’ when I clicked on the Apple link Who?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 4th April 2024, 02:51 PM
It's not out until midnight, but a preview should be available on the iTunes link!
Posted by: Steve201 4th April 2024, 07:37 PM
👍 thanks
Posted by: lewistgreen 4th April 2024, 09:05 PM
Really great lead single here. A slightly different sound too. Going to repeat it over and over again that's for sure
Posted by: lewistgreen 5th April 2024, 03:50 PM
Here's the video for House. Album is now up for pre-order with a CD, black vinyl, picture vinyl, yellow vinyl and 3 cassettes (one for each member).
With this triumphant start to their second decade in the industry, they have doubled down on their musical instincts and found rebellious new confidence. "The last couple of years have changed our priorities and process as artists," says Hannah. "That is a big part of our story." As a young band keen to find their audience, they had held nothing back in promoting 2013’s game-changing If You Wait and 2017’s follow-up Truth Is a Beautiful Thing, which hit number one.
Hannah, who has recently welcomed her first child and lives with the chronic pain condition fibromyalgia, speaks to London Grammar's shifted focus from relentless touring to cherishing the creative process. During lockdown, uncertainty around touring brought introspection, leading them to value art and songwriting as their core pursuit. This period also allowed the band to confront and discuss Hannah’s encounters with misogyny in the industry, fostering a 'band therapy' environment and helping them navigate the pressures and expectations of their career.
Californian Soil was released in 2021 and became another number-one album; once restrictions eased, the band performed their biggest UK tour to date, including two gigs at Alexandra Palace for which they sold 35,000 tickets in a day. They went on to play to over 700,000 fans on Coldplay’s 2022 stadium tour.
Now they return with their fourth album, The Greatest Love, which marks a period of creative liberation, merging their emotive lyrics and ethereal vocals with a celebratory spirit. The lead track "House" embodies empowerment, echoing Hannah's personal growth and the band's emphasis on joy in music-making. Their sound continues to defy genres, blending electronica with pop, especially evident in the poignant "Fakest Bitch," showcasing raw lyrics and Hannah's vocal prowess. This album reflects their evolved confidence, much less affected by external judgement and enriched by their solo ventures.
The three band members all have independent projects, which has enhanced the music they make together: Hannah paints and writes songs; Dot is a DJ who releases electronic music; and Dan produces several other artists. "I think those outlets for self-expression have helped us become more experimental," says Hannah.
London Grammar have won over an enormous fanbase. Their music has been streamed more than a billion times – but they never aspired to be famous.
Hannah says, "This album is probably the last time that we'll appear in our music videos." She’s delighted by the balance that they’ve found as a band. "I love the fact that I can walk down the street and nobody knows who I am – and yet we can fill huge spaces with people who love our music. We’ve worked really, really hard, and it has paid off."
The future looks bright. "I want us to keep making music together until we’re old, wrinkly, and completely irrelevant," she jokes. "As long as we prioritise the art, there is no reason why we can't go on for decades."

I like it - definitely a welcome sound, reminds me of Everything But The Girl in style
Posted by: Steve201 5th April 2024, 06:58 PM
Wow this is so instant for me!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st April 2024, 04:05 PM
A shame that this is their first lead single not to make the Top 100 
they definitely seem to have had less of a push this time though. It was really low on New Music Friday, and IIRC 'Baby It's You' got a decent Today's Hits placing on Apple too.
I must say, I'm not in love with it - but it has grown on me.
Posted by: lewistgreen 21st April 2024, 06:46 PM
I actually think it's one of their strongest lead singles which is a shame it's fallen flat commercially
Posted by: Bjork 21st April 2024, 07:22 PM
I like it myself but sounds a bit like more of the same for the same people
Posted by: Jαsє 21st April 2024, 08:29 PM
Flat as a pancake and doesn't go anywhere so not surprised really
Posted by: Mangø 22nd April 2024, 02:18 PM
I quite like 'House' and I'm not usually a big London Grammar fan! Shame the reception to it is so muted though. Even Radio 1 haven't bothered playlisting it as yet and they're normally big supporters 
Posted by: lewistgreen 25th April 2024, 08:18 PM
Solomun Remix out next Friday
Posted by: Steve201 25th April 2024, 09:51 PM
Don’t get the mutted reception it’s fantastic imo!
Posted by: lewistgreen 3rd May 2024, 06:12 AM
House has been added to Radio 1's playlist today. Remix available too
Posted by: Bjork 3rd May 2024, 06:45 AM
finally R1 on board, thought they were gonna skip them
Posted by: lewistgreen 12th May 2024, 08:20 AM
If you're signed up to their newsletter they've just sent round a teaser of the next single
Posted by: lewistgreen 13th May 2024, 10:44 AM
And the track is called Kind Of Man, out this Friday
