Varied Superstitions, the latest from #theblackwatch, is a combination of "Rain'-like drones and the purest of pop. My review is the latest post for the Pure Pop 4 Now People blog: purepop4nowpeople.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-...

Premiere: LA’s the black watch exclusively unveil new stand alone single ‘There Are Solutions to Each & Every Problem’ ahead of new album in early 2026. We are honoured to premiere the new stand alone Christmas single from those iconic dream pop exponents the black watch, the band headed by multi-talented John Andrew Frederick. This follows the magnificent double album 'For All The World' released earlier this year (and reviewed by me here) and precedes new material on their twenty-sixth LP on The Bevis Frond's Blue Matter Records, entitled 'Varied Superstitions', slated for release in early 2026. With a hint of feedback, the track bursts through the speakers with a dynamic jingle jangle and a wailing guitar (either e-bowed or backtracked).

Album Review: the black watch releases the magnificent double album ‘For All The World’. Spanning 21 luminescent tracks, the new double album 'For All The World' is a magnificent journey through the fertile imagination of John Andrew Frederick and his band the black watch. The common theme throughout is the ear for indelible catchy melodies, infused with a sparkling melancholia and shimmering instrumentation. Incredibly, it is the black watch's twenty-fifth album - a testimony to the firm hand on the tiller by Frederick but also the well worn description of his prolific capacity for songwriting - a capacity that is not diluted or diminished over that time or over the tracks of this double album.
