Everything But the Girl have said that they have completed a new album and will release it in spring 2023. Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt shared the news on Twitter yesterday (November 2), adding that more details would follow soon. The new record will be their first under the Everything But the Girl name since 1999’s Temperamental, which they reissued in 2020.
Though the duo quietly came to an end in 1999, Thorn and Watt, who are married, occasionally worked together as Thorn released a string of solo records and Watt ran his Strange Feeling record label. Thorn has also released four memoirs since Temperamental, the latest being last year’s My Rock ’n’ Roll Friend, partly about her friendship with Lindy Morrison of the Go-Betweens.
