NewsPlacebo / Never Let Me Go
New studio album & tour
Placebo will release their eighth studio album, Never Let Me Go, in March next year.
The 13-track long-player is the follow up to 2013’s Loud Like Love and is available to pre-order via the Official Placebo Shop, with exclusive coloured vinyl and signed bundles on offer. Any pre-orders placed on the official shop before 15 November come with access to priority pre-sale tickets for the 2022 UK and European tour.
You can preview ‘Surrounded By Spies’ from the new record, above.
As well as the exclusive shop pink vinyl, there is a standard indies red vinyl and Rough Trade in the UK are offering a very limited (300 copies) violet coloured 2LP vinyl set.
In terms of CD editions, there’s nothing with any extra tracks (no format offers extra tracks) but there’s a small CD box on the official store with 13 lyric cards and an ‘immersive booklet’ (whatever that may be). This appears to be the same as the Amazon UK exclusive, except with Amazon you get a lenticular print.
Never Let Me Go will be released on 25 March 2022.

There is a box also which brings togetger vinyl/cd/cassette a weird poster and collectible (?!) slipmat. https://bit.ly/3HdOJWI
Always had a soft spot for Placebo despite their last album being their worst effort. I do think Meds, sleeping with ghosts and Without you I’m nothing are all great albums despite some unbelievably cringey lyrics at times. I’ll be buying the CD and hope taking 9 years to make an album means they found their creative mojo again.
Paul, considering it’s taken so long for Placebo to get a studio album out, I’m really surprised they haven’t done what Garbage have done and released remastered deluxe editions of their back catalogue, since they have plenty of b-sides, demos, remixes, and supposedly a vault exists, it seems odd they haven’t done this yet.
The Hut Recordings from 2009
Then all the remastered LP reissues since 2015
One for collectors I suppose but it does seem OTT for a studio album release!
PINK DOUBLE VINYL (EXCLUSIVE) + BLACK DOUBLE VINYL + CD + CHOICE OF CASSETTE + SIGNED PHOTO
very nice songs. pure placebo.
Not specifically about this release, but just to say, Paul, that I really appreciate the link to hear something from the release. No matter if it’s a brand new thing or an archive reissue I do like to check it out – no matter whether I like the artiste or not – it’s good to see if I should be exploring them or not. (And this is the only place I find out about new releases.
Thanks!
Signed print for the cost of a cassette I will never use sounds like a decent swap.
There’s a weird Amazon exclusive edition here too – not quite sure what this adds for nearly a tenner more! https://amzn.to/3bU5sQl
I have updated the post with details. It’s actually £4 more than the official shop (which is £15). It’s the CD box with 13 lyric cards, booklet and in amazon’s case a lenticular print.
I’ve waited so long for this! Thanks for the info Paul, signed pink vinyl / CD and cassette bundle instantly pre-ordered.
I have mixed feelings about this. It seems to me that Placebo is a name from a distant time. I don’t know if I want to go back there.
Really looking for the new album, even though “Beautiful James” did not convince me that much. But I have always been a fan so… Just preordered the cd box.
