The new album ‘Just A Day’ - out 19th June 2026 on Loose Music. Pre-order here: https://lnk.to/justaday
Let It Slide
Let It Slide, the third single from our forthcoming album Just A Day, is out now. Turn it up! Our friend Michael Wood edited together some of the footage we filmed while recording at Edwyn Collins’ studio it in Helmsdale. Good times. Head over to YouTube to watch the full video and make sure to pre-order a copy of Just a Day.
All Your Yesterdays
‘All Your Yesterdays’ is out now. The jangly second single from our upcoming album ‘Just A Day’ - out 19th June 2026, available for pre-order via the link in bio. Head over to YouTube to check out the Spencer Kelly directed video. Filmed in and around the Clerkenwell conservation area of London.
“I often think about the now. The now we always take for granted. The now that just passed and became history just seconds ago. The now that we never really get to own because of work, responsibilities and chores. I always try to be as aware and grateful for the now and to make something lasting out of it.
“Let go of your dreams they say but it’s hard when you’ve given All Your Yesterdays”
It’s too late to stop now. Might as well follow what we dreamt of. Sometimes you even find yourself in the dream you dreamt, without even realising it. That’s what All Your Yesterdays is about I guess. Gerry Love wrote the riff on Edwyn’s porch on a sunny early spring day and we all made it sparkle together.” - Richard Olson, April 2026
Maybe Maybe
Two weeks of The Glasshouse! Have you had a chance to check out b-side Maybe Maybe yet? It features The Coral’s Nick Power on a Motown-meets-the-Wirral spoken word intro. Here’s what he’s got to say about it:
“I’ve worked with Rich Olson before, but this time he took me out of my comfort zone. I’m not one for spoken word usually, but he magically pulled this together in the great way he does, and made me sound like some broken-hearted Jimmy Corkhill type, coming down in the anphetamine dawn, pleading for forgiveness. The track is as beautifully desperate. Furthermore, Rich is a solid drinking buddy. If you’re out of sorts you can usually find him welcoming you, in the corner of a dim bar somewhere, doing the splits.” Nick Power, April 2026
Spread the word and be good to each other.
❤️✊❤️

Dreams - out now!
Dreams, the album we made with Bonnie Dobson is out now! You can listen to it on your favourite streaming service and order a LP or CD here: https://fanlink.tv/albumdreams
The album was a pure joy to make. Thanks for asking us to play on your songs, Bonnie! Co-produced by Sean Read and our very own Richard Olson, the album also features guest appearances by Ben Philipson, Itamar Rubinger and Herman Ringer.
The beautiful cover was designed by our longstanding collaborator El Señor Gómez.
“With The Hanging Stars capturing the gentle, folk-rock spirit of The Byrds and The Band, this sounds like the album Dobson should have made in the late Sixties. Instead, she had to wait another half century, but better late than never: it’s delightful.” - ★★★★ The Times

Get Together
Our new single, and second from our forthcoming album “Dreams”, is out now.
Our take on the counterculture anthem “Get Together”. Written by American singer-songwriter Dino Valenti more than 60 years ago, the songs powerful message is as relevant as ever. Our version features Bonnie Dobson on lead vocals and is enhanced by the mercurial guitar playing of Ben Philipson (Trimdon Grange Explosion, Comet Gain, The Eighteenth Day Of May).
“So come on, people now
Let’s get together
Smile on your brother
Love one another right now”
