Never Let Me Go
Placebo
Never Let Me Go (confirmed for release 25th March 2022) is the long-awaited 8th studio album from Placebo - nine years on from the release of their last outing Loud Like Love.
In September 2021, Placebo resurfaced from a long hibernation to release their first single in five years – and first from the new album - 'Beautiful James'. A joyous and celebratory song, it came quietly loaded with antagonism for the increasingly prominent, ignorant, factions that have come to litter modern conversation. As Brian Molko commented at the time, "If the song serves to irritate the squares and the uptight, so gleefully be it."
As great masters in cataloguing the human condition, Placebo's unique way of examining both its flaws and beauty finds fertile ground in 2021. Crawling out of the pandemic into a landscape of intolerance, division, tech-saturation and imminent eco-catastrophe, theirs is a voice that has rarely felt more significant to contemporary discourse, and more appropriate to sing these stories to the world. Within the magnetic slow-burn of new track 'Surrounded By Spies' no punches are pulled in confronting the erosion of civil liberties, as Brian Molko's deft lyrical delivery is married to a creeping sense of claustrophobia that fittingly makes the walls feel as though they are closing in from all around.
