“Like an open-top car ride in the credits of your favorite movie…” That’s how frontman Tim Burgess describes We Are Love, the radiant new single and title track from The Charlatans UK’s 14th studio album. Out October 31 via BMG Records, "We Are Love" finds the legendary Manchester band re-emerging with their most forward-looking material yet. Produced by an alt-rock dream team of Dev Hynes, Fred Macpherson, and the iconic Stephen Street, the album taps into The Charlatans’ rich legacy while carving out new territory. Guitarist Mark Collins explains how “We Are Love” shaped the project’s spirit as:
Early on, we thought it felt right. And it turned out that way: first single, title track, second song on the album. And things started forming around 'We Are Love.' There was a certain energy to it that drove us forward.
The single, debuted live during a triumphant Castlefield Bowl show—is a propulsive, anthemic celebration of humanity, unity, and survival, backed by sharp drums, shimmering guitar, and an energy that’s both nostalgic and fiercely present. With 11 tracks that dive deep into introspection, psychogeography, and reincarnation of sound, "We Are Love" showcases why The Charlatans UK remain one of Britain’s most enduring and beloved bands.
