Manic Street Preachers new track
New Track: ‘Brushstrokes of Reunion’ out now
New Album: ‘Critical Thinking’ now out 14th February 2025
‘Brushstrokes of Reunion’ is the latest song to be previewed from ‘Critical Thinking’ – Manic Street Preachers eagerly awaited 15th album. The track is available now and the album will now be released on 14th February due to production delays. The Kieran Evans directed video can be seen here.
The band described the song as “Nods to imperial-era Waterboys, particularly the love and desperation of Rags – R.E.M. Life’s Rich Pageant meets classic Manics crunch + velocity. Lyrically, about the hypnotic quality of a painting that’s inherited from someone who has passed.”
The new album ‘Critical Thinking’, due for release 14th February, has been described by Classic Rock in a 9/10 review as “(Critical Thinking) shows that with the Manics, rage never sleeps” and Record Collector stated “All these years later, they’re needed more than ever”. The first two songs released ‘Decline & Fall’ and the Nicky Wire lead vocal tune ‘Hiding in Plain Sight’ saw fans and critics applaud the return of the Welsh legends and were quickly added to countless radio playlists.
The band’s Uk tour sold out immediately on release last year, they have just returned from their first dates of 2025 in Japan and have been confirmed as playing several festivals in the summer.
‘Critical Thinking’ celebrates conflicting ideas colliding, with unflinchingly soul-searching lyrics meeting some of the most head-on, addictive melodies the band have ever recorded.
The record is available on LP, CD, hardbook CD and cassette with two brand new songs available on a limited 7”, a remix of ‘Decline & Fall’ by Steven Wilson and demo versions of all the new album tracks on an extended CD.
