The Wolfgang Press, the London post-punk pioneers, are releasing their new album ‘Asylum Variations’ on September 25, 2026 via Downwards Records across vinyl, CD, and digital formats. The album follows their 2024 reunion effort ‘A 2nd Shape’ and features the lead single ‘Speakers Don’t Speak,’ accompanied by an official music video. Recorded at Metway Studio in Brighton with members Michael Allen (vocals, bass), Andrew Gray (guitar), and Stephen Gray (synthesizers, electronics), the nine-track album explores themes of global instability and personal resilience through a visceral post-punk lens. The title references Edward Elgar’s ‘Enigma Variations,’ with each song functioning as a response to contemporary turbulence. Closing track ‘Man Made Heaven’ features Allen’s daughters on vocals. The band will perform three live dates surrounding the release, including a Real Sounds event in London. Pre-orders are available through Boomkat.
