One of 2026’s most anticipated albums Trixies is the band’s first album in eight years but the first they ever wrote. A collection of stories set in a fictional night club Trixies, the album was written by the band’s founders teenage Chris Difford (19) and Glenn Tilbrook (16) at the very start of their songwriting partnership.
Before the sky-high classics such as ‘Up The Junction,’ ‘Tempted,’ ‘Cool For Cats,’ ‘Another Nail In My Heart’ and ‘Labelled With Love.’ before the 2008 Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, the Mojo Icon award, the quintessential Cradle To The Grave, the world tours and festival highlight sets, and before 2017’s celebrated The Knowledge, there was Trixies.
Back in 1974, when Trixies was written, the musical vision of the young creators exceeded their virtuosity. “We fully committed ourselves to songwriting but this was three or four years before we even got to make our first record. Long story short, these were songs that we just didn’t have enough musical experience to record properly” explains Difford. Now, fifty years on, that problem no longer exists for the band who have played more than 600 shows since reuniting in 2007. “The original version of You Get The Feeling was more like an old blues song” recalls Tilbrook. “It took me 50 years to figure out how to do it justice!”.
Trixies is released on March 6, 2026, via BMG. Pre-order HERE.
