Inspiral Carpets announce Burn Like The Sun, their first studio album in 12 years, out January 29th, 2027 via Scruff of the Neck Records. The album marks a major new chapter for Inspiral Carpets following a period shaped by loss, reflection and renewal.
An extended hiatus left the future of the band uncertain, and the return to writing and recording became something deeper than simply making another record. What emerged is an album rooted in endurance and connection. At the centre of that story is the return of original frontman Stephen Holt, whose rejoining of the band reconnected Inspiral Carpets with their earliest creative identity while opening the door to an entirely new era.
Rather than revisiting the past, the band approached Burn Like The Sun determined to create something fresh and emotionally honest, a record that acknowledges their history without being defined by it.
