The Boo Radleys Eight LP (Transparent Red Vinyl)

The Boo Radleys have announced details of a 2023 studio album, as well as the 30th Anniversary reissue of their lauded, landmark 1993 album Giant Steps. Given encouragement by the tremendous reception of 2022's live return and first album in more than two decades, the three-piece return quickly to release "Seeker," the first cut from their 2023 long-player, Eight.

Marking perhaps their busiest ever year in 2023, the band makes up for lost time having been missing from the musical map since 1998 prior to reforming in 2021 and releasing their seventh album, Keep On with Falling, in March 2022. Keen to celebrate the past as well as the present, the announcement that Giant Steps, the Creation Records album that, for many, cemented their legacy as one of Britain's greatest yet unsung bands will delight fans keen to complete their collections.

Bringing their story to the present, The Boo Radleys' single "Seeker" introduces the band's eighth album, set for release on the band's own Boostr label. Where 2022's album, joyful in tone yet brooding with heavyweight lyrical themes, came together as an exploration of the isolated ideas of each member, Eight is, according to vocalist and co-songwriter Sice, formed of songs recorded "purposefully to appear together on an album," before adding, "There is also a greater depth of integration, which means that it's more difficult to tell which member of the band the song originated with."
