Johnny Marr Announces New Solo Album The Age of Everything

Guitarist and songwriter Johnny Marr has announced the release of his fifth solo album, "The Age of Everything," scheduled for October 2 via BMG. The announcement, made on June 16, 2026, was accompanied by the release of the album's lead single, "Spin," and its music video.

Marr described the new record as his most cathartic solo project to date. In a statement, he said the album's title reflects a contemporary sense of overwhelm, while also suggesting possibility. "The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea," Marr said. "It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It's all encompassing, but it's not necessarily a negative statement. There's a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there could also be a sense of possibility."

The ten-track album was written in London, developed during live performances on tour across the East Coast of North America, and recorded in Manchester. It follows his 2022 double album, "Fever Dreams Pts 1-4." The tracklist includes songs such as "Beyond The Rain," "It's Time," "How Come," and "Ophelia." The album will be available on CD,...
