Ben Poole announces “Post-Midnight Behaviour”
Ben Poole has announced the release of his new studio album, Post-Midnight Behaviour, due out September 25 via Gypsy Soul Records. The album marks his first collection of new studio material in eight years, following 2018’s Anytime You Need Me, and is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl as well as pre-save digitally.
The album’s first single, “No Second Chances,” was released on July 3 and is available now on streaming platforms alongside an official lyric video.
While rooted in blues rock, Post-Midnight Behaviour expands into new musical territory, blending blues, rock, soul, country, and alternative rock influences. The album features a more restrained approach, pairing subtle rock grooves with melodic hooks while still allowing Poole’s guitar work to shine.
“I wanted this album to showcase my evolution as guitarist and singer songwriter,” says Ben. “For several years, I have performed over 150 shows a year across more than 20 countries. My guitar style and technique have developed, my singing voice has matured, and my influences have varied. The new album is a journey that combines Blues, Rock, Soul, Country, and Alternative Rock. I still get to let loose on the guitar, but within a more subdued and reflective manner. Ambiance inspired the name of the album, Post-Midnight Behaviour.”
“I have released a few live albums in recent years. They are much quicker and a time stamp on where you are at that moment. I took my time over the new album so that it would be super-realised in every aspect. My writing team and I really pushed ourselves. We dug deep to make sure the songwriting was of the highest quality and the arrangements were carefully structured and perfectly executed. My fans are going to really like what we have created. It was well worth the wait!”
The album includes 10 tracks, including “Runaway Souls,” which features Elles Bailey.
