The Courteeners frontman chats to Radio X's John Kennedy about the band's epic sixth album.

Courteeners have released their sixth studio album More. Again. Forever.

The LP is the follow-up to 2016’s Mapping The Rendezvous and was released on 17 January 2020. The album has been produced by Joseph Cross.

You can watch Courteeners frontman Liam Fray take Radio X's John Kennedy through the new album track by track here.

Liam explained the meaning of the title to Radio X's Gordon Smart. The short, sharp name for the LP is a reference to "the incessant nature" of life in 2020... "Whether it's drinking or social media... it's more, more, more, more, more. Again. Forever.

"I felt like it needed that kind of full stop."

The first single to be taken from the album was Heavy Jacket, which features a video that saw the Middleton band collaborated with Bury-based author Emma Jane Unsworth.

After Fray asked her to write something specifically for the group, Unsworth produced Better - which has been made into a short film to be split across three Courteeners videos.

The film has been split into three sections, which will be used for three separate Courteeners videos.

The second part, Better Man, was unveiled in December and the entire short story can be read on the Courteeners website here.
