Black/Red is the twelfth studio album by Welsh rock band Feeder, released on 5 April 2024 via Big Teeth Music, Townsend Music and Absolute Label Services. A double album, it completes a trilogy that began with its predecessor, 2022's Torpedo. [2] [3] [4]
Lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Grant Nicholas has said that the decision to release the record as a double album was made with the listener in mind, describing it as "almost like a musical production with an interval." He also described writing the album as a "musical pilgrimage" and a "labour of love", which resulted in a record of "undeniable Feeder". [2]
Nicholas stated that "The Knock" is a "song about a highway or road of life and the journey in which it can take us on and the challenges we face along the way". In addition, he said that he had "a very clear visual image for "Soldiers of Love", almost like a film soundtrack. It's the first time we've recorded bagpipes on a Feeder track as we felt they would add to the slight Celtic feel of the song. It was originally going to stay more of an acoustic style track but I felt the song could be more cinematic and grander sonically." [5]
The album was supported by a tour of the United Kingdom through March of 2024. It began on 2 March at the Junction in Cambridge and ended on 28 March at the Roundhouse in London. [2]
