New album speculation 2024

[TheBang]

There's a new listing for a release called Strawberry Hotel here:

https://www.hmv.co.jp/artist_Underwo...Hotel_15178707

It's an import from the UK and a CD, release date of Oct. 25. The catalog number (UWR00098CD) is the next in series (Denver Luna was UWR00097).

The pricing suggests it could be an album. And that the fact that it's listed as a CD (there hasn't been a commercial CD single since 2007). If it is an album, then the catalog number sequence suggests there wouldn't be any single releases before the album.

cool, but strange that it would show up like that without any kind of announcement.

will keep an eye on the inbox. guess we should expect an email soon.

hopefully a tour for it also.

Another odd wrinkle for this potential album title: beyond naming the album after a key song (which, though a classic trope and the most epic of the new songs, is something Underworld haven't done), there's the issue of Strawberry Hotel being an actual IP - (https://www.strawberryhotels.com/)

I'm sure the Europeans already knew, but I had just figured the song title was normal Underworld mashup imagery and discovered the actual company while looking for more album listings today. Seems strange, hoping it's a placeholder. Maybe it is just a single...

Pedantic note: Mk2 have not done so, but both ?Underneath the Radar? and ?Change the weather? were album titles and tracks. 😉
