Everything But The Girl announce new album, ‘Blue Reservoir’, share ‘Young and Dumb’: Listen

Everything But The Girl (EBTG) have announced their eleventh studio album, ‘Blue Reservoir’.

Set for release on 19th February 2027 via Buzzin’ Fly/Virgin Music Group, the album’s first single, ‘Young and Dumb’, is out now alongside an accompanying music video directed by Edward Bishop which you can watch below.

The record follows 2023’s ‘Fuse’ and takes a more stripped-back, guitar-led approach, inspired by Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt’s return to live performance in 2025, including their sold-out residency at London’s MOTH Club.

The experience also inspired Watt to buy a Spanish nylon-string guitar in January 2026, which became central to the album’s writing process. Written in the following months, the 10-track release draws on Latin influences and British folk-blues, with lyrics exploring themes of memory and time.

The pair will continue their run of intimate shows with three further dates at MOTH Club and two at Union Chapel in 2027. Performing as Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn, the pair will draw on both their work as Everything But The Girl and their respective solo careers, alongside covers and some surprises.
