The Church Rides Again With Their Latest Single “Western” — New Album “Lacuna” Announced!

The Church have released “Western,” a single from their forthcoming 28th studio album Lacuna, scheduled for October 30, 2026 via Cooking Vinyl. The track features Steve Kilbey’s measured vocal delivery over shuffling drums, layered synths, and post-punk guitars with a Western film aesthetic. Kilbey described the song as a “shaggy dog story” inspired by childhood television Westerns, with lyrics that jump between dice games, strange encounters, and outer space. The single follows a recent singles-celebrating world tour and the prior release Sacred Echoes Part II. The six-piece lineup includes Kilbey, longtime drummer and producer Tim Powles, guitarists Ian Haug and Ashley Naylor, multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Cain, and newest drummer Nicholas Meredith.
