Johnny Marr has returned with the announcement of The Age Of Everything-his new album set for release on 2nd October via BMG.
The record - which marks the former Smiths guitarist's fifth solo studio effort - is the follow-up to his four part-release Fever Dreams, which spanned from 2021 - 2022.
From it comes lead single Spin, the first taste of the record described as a "urgent opening statement," which is "charged with emotion and sonic energy".
Watch the official music video for Spin, which was conceptualised Johnny Marr and filmed in Manchester, below:

Introducing the album, Marr said in a press release: “This is the record that’s been the most cathartic. The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea. It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It’s all encompassing, but it's not necessarily a negative statement. There’s a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there could also be a sense of possibility.”
The album will also be available on CD, black vinyl and limited edition red vinyl, with the official artist store also stocking exclusive limited 3 Colour splatter vinyl and merch bundles here.
