Frank Turner has releases a new single, “The Gathering,” out via Xtra Mile Recordings / Polydor Records. His first new music in nearly two years, Turner’s new track features guest appearances from Jason Isbell and Muse’s Dom Howard.
“The Gathering” – also the name of Turner’s own limited edition beer launching today – is available to hear below…
Also announced today are details for a series of nine live show “Gatherings” headed by Turner and Xtra Mile Recordings and running over summer 2021. Tickets for all shows will go on sale tomorrow, Friday, May 7, beginning 10 a.m. BST / 5 a.m. EST on Frank Turner’s official homepage HERE.
Produced by Rich Costey (Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters), who Turner worked with on 2013’s Tape Deck Heart, “The Gathering” features pile driving drums courtesy of Muse’s Dom Howard and a triumphant guitar solo from Jason Isbell, who recorded remotely from Los Angeles and Nashville. The new track follows a number of huge life changes for the star, who left his beloved London for the Essex coast, also getting married after the release of 2019’s No Man’s Land. “The biggest thing for me about the lockdown experience was about identity,” Turner says. “I am the guy who tours, this is who I’ve been since I was sixteen. This is the longest period of time I’ve slept in the same bed continuously since I was seven.”
