While details on the announcement remain sparse, the post has already caught fans attention, with some speculating that the news could be around the upcoming 30th anniversary of their debut album, ˜I Should Coco .
Released in May 1995, the release marked the record that first put the band on the map, and contained singles ˜Mansize Rooster , ˜Caught By The Fuzz, ˜Lose It and ˜Lenny . It also saw Coombes and Co. nominated at the 1995 Mercury Prize, and contained what would soon become their biggest track to date, the Ivor-Novello winning ˜Alright .
At time of writing, the band haven t shared any further indication as to whether the announcement is related to the huge upcoming milestone “ whether it be an anniversary tour or reissue “ nor whether it has anything to do with new music that could be on the way.
The band s last studio album was ˜Diamond Hoo Ha , which arrived in 2008. Since then, they have shared remastered versions of both their 1999 self-titled album and their 2003 record ˜Life On Other Planets .
In other news around the band, last year it was reported that the band s frontman joined Johnny Marr onstage last month to perform The Smiths ˜ classic ˜There Is A Light That Never Goes Out at Lakefest 2023.
Before then, Coombes opened up about how nervous he was about reuniting Supergrass following the success of his solo albums.
Supergrass split up in 2010 but reunited for a series of live shows in 2019. They released a live album in 2020, Live On Other Planets, to celebrate their 25th anniversary and raise money for grassroots venues affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Having got into a flow and the last two albums having done so well, it seemed a bit odd, like a backward step, he said. But then I was confident that I could operate both things together and it seems that I did, because I was obviously writing this record mainly during the reunion so I feel like I made best use of both things.
Coombes fourth solo album, ˜Turn The Car Around , came out in January of last year.
