English Teacher released their Mercury Prize-winning debut album ‘This Might Be Texas’ last April. The record earned a glowing five-star review from NME, and later bagged the Number Three spot on our 50 best albums of 2024 list. Their track ‘Albert Road’ was also named the sixth-best song of the year.

Last month, English Teacher came in at Number Five on this year’s BBC Sound Of 2025 poll.

Speaking to NME in 2023, guitarist Lewis Whiting said the group didn’t “want to sit within one sound”, and explained that they’d “got a point to prove” with their music. Shortly after taking home their Mercury, the band told NME about their progress on new material, which will see them build upon their already-signature style.

Whiting said that English Teacher had “got some writing” to do in between their support shows with IDLES and their 2024 UK headline tour last November. Bassist Nicholas Eden also teased a new song, describing it as “an amalgamation of every single track on this [first] album”. English Teacher played a new track called ‘Billboards’ on tour last year.

This year will also see English Teacher open for Fontaines D.C. in Manchester, perform at Bearded Theory in Derbyshire and appear at Wide Awake Festival in London.
