It comes after the band revealed details of a new single ‘Surrounded By Spies’, yesterday (November 3). It is also due to be released next Tuesday (November 9). Placebo recently returned with their first single in five years, ‘Beautiful James’.

During a recent interview, frontman Brian Molko explained that the band had “already finished” their new album before the coronavirus pandemic struck in early 2020.

“We had a lot of get-up-and-go, and then everything that happened, happened, so everything is sort of delayed by about two years now,” he said.

“I know it was frustrating for the fans. It was certainly very frustrating for us as well, the interminable wait to put out new music, but at least it was there. We knew we had it.”

The singer also said that Placebo had switched up their writing process this time around in an effort to “not make it easy on ourselves”.

“I have what I would describe as a boredom problem,” Molko explained. “Stefan [Olsdal, bassist and guitarist] has often said that he’s never met anyone with a lower boredom threshold than myself – and that really influences and informs the way that we work.”

Next summer, the band will perform their only UK festival date of the year at Bearded Theory’s Spring Gathering.
