BACK TO THE WATER BELOW
by ROYAL BLOOD
When it was released in September 2023, Royal Blood's fourth album continued their clean sweep of Official Albums Chart Number 1s. The hard rock duo – Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher – previously reached the top with their self-titled 2014 debut, 2017's How Did We Get So Dark? and 2021's Typhoons.
Recorded in the band's home studio in Brighton, it is the first Royal Blood album to be entirely self-produced. "[That] forced us to do things that came naturally to us," Kerr said ahead of the album's release. "Sometimes having a producer, although with good intentions, pushes you to go to territories you wouldn’t normally go to. Obviously that can really serve for progression, but for us it’s also about doing something that is inherently what you would do."
