The Bracknall follow up last year's album of the year, ‘Falling Out Of View’, with their new single ‘Where I Belong’. It’s taken from their upcoming EP ‘Waiting for the Lights to Change’, which is produced by Embrace’s Richard McNamara.
The closed out 2025 with at London’s 229 in with a sold-out crowd arms aloft, tears rolling, and a feeling that, if this was all it was to ever be, then it was perfect. Not resting on their laurels, they have unearthed another epic anthem for their ever-growing army to rejoice in.
On this ode to the towns they grew up in, The Bracknall pay perhaps the finest homage to the songwriting of Noel Gallagher ever seen. Sumptious key changes, lyrics that light up working-class towns, and guitars that ignite feelings of pure escape unite to make yet more magic from the Essex band.
Like the greats of any discipline, Billy Connolly, Martin Scorsese, or Oasis, The Bracknell pulls you into their world and makes you never want to leave. If Oasis’ tour last year taught us one thing, it’s that the world has an appetite for rock n roll still. Whether those crowds have the hunger to seek out new songs is another thing, but if they do. Then this should be their starting point.
