Nick Lowe to Release First New Album in More than a Decade

Nick Lowe has unveiled plans to release a new studio album, Indoor Safari, on September 13. The 12-track collection is the veteran U.K. singer/songwriter’s first full-length album featuring mostly original tunes in 13 years.

Lowe recorded Indoor Safari with Los Straightjackets, the Nashville-based surf-rock band whose members wear Mexican wrestling masks when they perform. The group has served as Lowe’s main backing band since 2014.

Lowe has released a surf-flavored retro-rock song called “Went to a Party” as the lead single from the album. The track is available to stream now, and a companion music video has debuted at Nick’s official YouTube channel.

“Los Straightjackets and I debuted this song live for the first time while opening for Elvis Costello a few years back and it was an absolute smash,” Lowe explained. “The swinging sound of Los Straightjackets provide on the song really resonates in the live environment, so much so that each of the Straightjackets have a greatly deserved writing credit on the song.”
