## Summary

Everything But The Girl have announced their 12th album, ‘Blue Reservoir’, and released its first single, ‘Young And Dumb’. The record was shaped by the atmosphere of the duo’s intimate residency at Hackney’s Moth Club, marking a new direction after their 2023 return with ‘Fuse’, their first album in 24 years.

Tracey Thorn says the song reflects on wishing to return to the past while trying to live with the energy and passion of youth. It opens with Spanish guitar, while Ben Watt describes the album as reconnecting with the folk, jazz and Brazilian influences of the group’s early work. Their Moth Club residency took place at the 300-capacity venue.
