and will combine on new album ‘Misfits Together’

The ambitious album brings together two old friends, with multi-instrumentalist Will Bloomfield stepping in as producer. Sessions took place over the summer of 2025 at Bloomfield’s Dairy Studios in Brixton, with additional sessions in Suffolk and at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios.

New album ‘Misfits Together’ is the result. Out on March 12th, the lyrical matter was inspired by Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, a beautiful if unconventional love story.

This is a 75-year-old story and yet it still feels so relevant: the polarising politics, the sexism, the threat of career-ending blacklists, all feel like they could be from today’s newspapers. We wanted the music to reflect this, so we created a collection of songs that we hope to feel modern and timeless.

The album will be released on March 12th, and September 2027 sees the music transfer to stage, with a show at The Curve Theatre.

Dan Smith says of the project:

We’re so excited to be releasing these songs as we first heard and wrote them. They continue to morph and change for the stage as the show develops, and naturally they’ll be sung and represented by other people, so we loved the idea of sharing where they started, performed by us. 

We’re really proud of this album and have loved the recording process. We’ve been lucky to work with so many brilliant musicians and artists: Moira, Ruti, Charlie, and to have Will as the producer helping realise the sound of the album and turn our demos into what you’ll get to hear over the coming months. 

We wanted to present these songs as they are now and give people a chance to get to know the music before the Misfits Together storytelling expands, becoming the Made at Curve musical the world will see in autumn 2027 (which is something we can’t believe we get to say!).

New song ‘Oh America (1951)’ is the first to emerge – tune in now.
