The Temperance Movement release new single 'Silverlight Blues' ahead of New Promise Land Incorporated

# What happened Movement released a new single, "Silverlight Blues," as the latest preview of their forthcoming studio album, New Promise Land Incorporated. The album is scheduled for release on October 9 via Earache Records. The single arrives after two earlier previews: lead single "Eat You Alive" and follow-up "Always Been Love."

# How the record was made New Promise Land Incorporated is the band's first collection of all-new material in eight years. It was recorded in April 2026 and produced and mixed by Ethan Johns, who has worked with artists such as Kings of Leon, Laura Marling, and Ray LaMontagne. The sessions emphasized live-to-tape performances, aiming to capture raw, live energy, blues-soaked riffs, soulful songwriting, and the chemistry of the five band members reconnecting.

# What the new single and video show

# Album highlights mentioned The album track list includes the psychedelic opener "Shadows," the anthemic "Eat You Alive," the groove-driven "Always Been Love," and songs described as emotionally resonant like "Saving Grace" and understated pieces like "Mongrels." The record aims to balance rock'n'roll drive with moments of vulnerability and soul.

# Recent history and momentum After an extended hiatus following their 2018 album A Deeper Cut (which reached the UK Top 10), The Temperance Movement returned to live work in 2025. Their comeback tour across the UK and Europe drew sold-out shows and upgraded venues, capped by a sold-out performance at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town. In 2026 they continued that momentum with headline festival appearances across Europe, including Steelhouse Festival, Maid of Stone Festival, Azkena Rock Festival, Notodden Blues Festival, and Rootsy Summer Fest.

# Touring and release plan The band has announced a major 21-date UK and European headline tour to follow the album release. A selection of confirmed UK headline dates includes:

• November 15 — Birmingham, O2 Institute Birmingham
