Rewind the Film

A quiet, cinematic retreat into acoustic textures and brass-led soul. The band trades stadium anthems for weathered introspection and autumnal Welsh landscapes.

It's the Manics unplugged, sounding like a rainy afternoon in a very comfortable Welsh pub.

A dignified, autumnal reflection on the passage of time and the weight of heritage.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The cinematic swell of brass and Richard Hawley's deep baritone on the title track.
The fragile vocal interplay between James Dean Bradfield and Lucy Rose on the opener.
The sudden, defiant burst of 60s-style soul horns on Show Me the Wonder.
