## Summary

Everything But the Girl have announced *Blue Reservoir*, a 10-song album due on 19 February, and released its first single, “Young and Dumb”. The record follows 2023’s *Fuse*, which ended the duo’s 24-year break, and signals a return to a direct, guitar-led sound shaped by their Moth Club residency.

Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt’s London performances last year informed the album’s direction. Watt wrote and performed much of it on Spanish nylon-string guitar; longtime collaborators Rex Horan and Evan Jenkins play double bass and drums, with Fabio de Oliveira on percussion. The album is being released through Buzzin’ Fly/Virgin Music Group.
