The Vaccines announce fifth album with title-track "Back In Love City"

After returning last month with their "Headphones Baby" single, The Vaccines have announced Back In Love City, their follow-up to 2018's Combat Sports album.

On top of announcing their fifth album, The Vaccines have released the album title-track "Back In Love City".

Back In Love City was recorded at El Paso's Sonic Ranch with producer Daniel Ledinsky (Tove Lo, Zara Larson, TV on the Radio, Rihanna), and was finished in early 2020.

The new album, inspired by fictional cities including Ridley Scott’s version of LA from Blade Runner, came together after lead vocalist Justin Young took part in a house swap in LA. Young explains, "I literally swapped lives with a stranger. I lived in in house and drove his car while he lived in mine, but we’d never met and had no previous connections."

He adds, "In some obvious ways we’re more connected than ever, but we’re also more polarised than we’ve been for 100 years and the world is getting colder. What if there was a place where love and other emotions had run dry - but you could go to Love City to get them?"
