English Teacher share single ‘Albert Road’ and announce debut album ‘This Could Be Texas’ along with UK tour

English Teacher have announced their debut album ‘This Could Be Texas’ and shared new single ‘Albert Road’.

The Leeds four-piece will release their first full-length record on April 12 via Island, and the new track follows previous singles ‘Mastermind Specialism’, ‘Nearly Daffodils’ and ‘The World’s Biggest Paving Slab’.

Speaking of the album, vocalist Lily Fontaine said: “I want this album to feel like you’ve gone to space and it turns out it’s almost identical to Doncaster. It’s about inbetweens, it’s about home, and it’s about Desire Paths.”

Watch the video for ‘Albert Road’ below.

The band are set to head out on a new UK headline tour across May, in addition to January and February dates across the UK and Europe.
