In the album, the band joined forces with Swedish hitmakers and longtime band collaborators Mattman and Robin to create a record that both pays homage to the sound that put them on the map, as well as mark where they are now.

The band’s shows across the US kicked off in July and continued all throughout last month. It continues into September, with the next show being held at The Gorge Amphitheatre in Seattle on September 28. Visit here for remaining US tickets.

In other news about the band, last month longtime drummer Daniel Platzman announced his departure from the band.

Having joined the line-up in 2011, Platzman took to social media to announce that he was leaving. He wrote: “After an incredible journey of over a decade, I will be departing the amazing band that is Imagine Dragons. I wanted to share my deepest gratitude to you, the fans, for your unwavering support and sharing in the joy of music with me.”

In a three-star review of Imagine Dragons’ performance at Reading Festival 2023, NME wrote: “This is by no means a groundbreaking set from Imagine Dragons; for the most part, the performance follows the same structure as all the other shows on their ongoing ‘Mercury’ tour. That being said, that seemed to matter not one jot during a show that was designed solely to serve their fans: mission accomplished.”

English Teacher’s ‘This Could Be Texas’ re-enters UK top 40 following Mercury Prize win

English Teacher‘s debut album ‘This Could Be Texas‘ has re-entered the UK Top 40 following their Mercury Prize win.

The Leeds four-piece recently snagged the prestigious music prize at the ceremony held earlier this month at Abbey Road Studios.

They warded off competition from the likes of Charli XCXCMATGhettsThe Last Dinner PartyCorinne Bailey RaeBeth GibbonsBarry Can’t Swim and more with their debut album, ‘This Could Be Texas’.

Now, UK record labels association the BPI has reported an increased demand for the record. The BPI (which also organises the Mercury Prize) claimed that ‘This Could Be Texas’ gained a 1,073 per cent increase in sales in the week after the ceremony – its best chart performance since it was released in April this year.

Other albums by Mercury Prize nominees BERWYN, Corinne Bailey Rae and corto.alto also saw sales increases of over 100 per cent.

NME spoke to the band shortly after their win, where they said they would “continue to be honest” about their struggles as a band.

“It was never a conscious [choice] to be like ‘We’re going to be one of those bands that does that’,” frontwoman Lily Fontaine explained. “It’s just that when we get asked questions about those things, we’re always going to be honest. If we continue to be put in situations where we’re asked about that, we will continue to be honest about it.”

NME also spoke to the band for The Cover, where they hinted at their debut album and what was to come: “I feel like the next set of songs will truly reflect where we are now,” guitarist Lewis Whiting shared. “We don’t want to sit within one sound; there’s some huge-sounding ballads coming up. We’ve got a point to prove.”

We also reviewed their debut, awarding it a full five stars: “What you have in ‘This Could Be Texas’ is everything you want from a debut; a truly original effort from start to finish, an adventure in sound and words, and a landmark statement. Poised for big things? Who knows if this industry even allows that anymore. Here are a band already dealing in brilliance, though – who dare to dream and have it pay off.

“Not everyone gets to go to space, but at least English Teacher make it a damn site more interesting being stuck down here.”
