Conan to Enter Studio in Late November for New Album
Conan have kept themselves plenty busy between North American and European jaunts over the last year-plus (also the last decade-plus), but at the end of November, the three-piece of Jon Davis, David Ryley and Johnny King will hit up Foel Studios to begin the recording process for their next record. It will be the first since Ryley joined the band on bass/backing vocals late in 2023, and it sees their former bassist, Chris Fielding, shift back into the producer role for Conan as he’s held for countless others at this point, and their sixth album, coming in behind 2022’s Evidence of Immortality (review here) with this year’s self-released DIY Series, Issue 1 EP (review here) keeping the momentum going in between.
This isn’t the most expansive announcement, as you’ll see. It came with a holiday merch update — Conan always have a killer sweater design at the ready for those feeling cheeky — but as it confirmed they’re on track for the Spring 2025 release that was floated in June when they signed to Heavy Psych Sounds, and as it heralds new stuff from them either way, I figured it was good news and good news is welcome by me. Conan have one more date for 2024 to go, in The Netherlands, following up on their stop at Desertfest Belgium this month, and you can read more about that below as well. No surprise they note that plans for more touring are in the works. That’s how they do. Pro fuggin’ shop.

CONAN – NEW ALBUM
We record our new album at the end of November with Chris Fielding, in Foel Studio. This will be released on Heavy Psych Sounds. We are super excited to get into the studio and build upon these awesome demo’s we have in hand. We think you’re all going to love it.
