Clara Mann has announced that her second album, ‘Wishbone’, will be released on 23 October. The record follows her 2025 debut, ‘Rift’, and marks a rapid return for the songwriter, who began work on the follow-up almost immediately; its release will be accompanied by the new single ‘News From Home’.

Mann made the 11-track album with producer Fabian Prynn at Bam Bam Studios in Norfolk, reportedly working 14-hour days. She cites Leos Carax’s 1991 film ‘Les Amants du Pont-Neuf’ as an influence, while describing ‘News From Home’ as a reflection on returning to her hometown and balancing that past with her adult life.
