Blondie announce their new studio album, “High Noon,” releasing Feb. 26 after a nine-year gap. The band presents the lead track “Spectral Eyes,” which features musician Johnny Marr. Multiple outlets also report that the album marks a significant moment for drummer Clem Burke’s work with the group.
Rolling Stone and other sources say “High Noon” is led by “Spectral Eyes” and frame the record as a blend of Blondie’s influences and eras, with Debbie Harry describing it as classic Blondie. Consequence and The Independent report the album includes Clem Burke’s final recording with the band, adding context to its title and timing. Additional guest credits reported include Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols and Zach Condon of Beirut.
Across coverage, outlets focus on the comeback after the hiatus, the Feb. 26 release date, and the featured collaborations—especially the Marr appearance on “Spectral Eyes”—while consistently noting the importance of Clem Burke’s final recordings to the album’s release.
