Following recent singles “But First, Love” and “Coughing Up Butterflies,” Irish band Bell X1 have announced their ninth studio album, Good Bones, set for release on November 13, 2026. Alongside the announcement, the band revealed details for their Autumn/Winter 2026 tour, which includes a date at Belfast’s Mandela Hall on December 12.

Good Bones was recorded in upstate New York at Dreamland Studio and captures Bell X1 in the most instinctive form of their career—playing together, responding to the room, and following the songs wherever they wanted to go. The result is intimate and earthy: a record that unfolds slowly, with warm tones and unexpected textures giving the songs a distinctly emotional charge.

Digital pre-orders for Good Bones are available via Bandcamp, offering 6 tracks instantly upon purchase.

Formed in 1999, Bell X1 are an Irish musical group composed of Paul Noonan, Dave Geraghty, and Dominic Phillips. With eight previous studio albums—four of which earned Choice Music Prize nominations—they have established themselves over the past two decades as one of Ireland’s most acclaimed live performers. Known for their lyrical dexterity and wide-ranging musical palette, their work spans pop, alternative, indie, hard rock, post-punk, acoustic, lo-fi, folk-rock, synth-pop, new wave, and electronica.
