Ash release their ninth studio album ‘Ad Astra’ on October 3rd via Fierce Panda Records lead single ‘Give Me Back My World’.
Containing eleven brand new tracks, including their energetic take on Harry Belafonte’s 1961 classic, “Jump In The Line (Shake, Senora)’, most memorable from the end of the 1988 ‘Beetlejuice’ movie, ‘Ad Astra’ sees Blur guitarist Graham Coxon appear on two particularly sassy songs and catches the perennial power-pop kings in especially rocket-fuelled form.
‘Ad Astra’ follows hot on the heels of 2023’s ‘Race The Night’ (the band’s highest charting album for 20 years), being released two years and one month later, and this is no coincidence. Ever the band who live for live music, Ash vowed that the fierce pandemic-induced five year chasm between 2018 album ‘Islands’ and ‘Race The Night’ would never happen again.
