A - Prang [CD]

Digipak. British alt-rock favourites A return with PRANG, their first studio album in over 20 years, released May 22nd, 2026 via Cooking Vinyl. Sparked by the effervescent lead single "Hello Sunshine," the album finds the band rediscovering their identity with the carefree spirit and stylish sloppiness that defined their early days.Written and recorded free from expectation or pressure, PRANG is a vibrant, hook-laden reaffirmation of A's enduring appeal - balancing punchy, riff-driven anthems with heartfelt, soul-baring moments. Frontman Jason Perry, now a Grammy Award-winning producer known for his work with Don Broco, McFly and Kids In Glass Houses, helms production to preserve the band's DIY ethos and singular personality.Lyrically, PRANG is A's most open and reflective work to date. Drawing on two decades of life experience, Perry explores gratitude, resilience, mental health and friendship with warmth and disarming honesty. The result is an album that feels both nostalgic and strikingly modern - each track it's own colourful island, yet unmistakably A.Twenty years in the making, PRANG is more than a comeback; it's a rebirth. Cathartic, melodic and life-affirming, it marks a bold new chapter for one of Britain's most beloved rock bands.
