As with 2010's A Paean To Wilson, Vini Reilly is backed by Bruce Mitchell (drums/percussion) and Keir Stewart (producer/multi-instrumentalist). The album took shape over several years, with sessions often taking place in Reilly's own kitchen. This time around, they’re joined by Manchester-based singer-songwriter Caoilfhionn Rose, who sings on "Agonistes" and plays piano on "Sargasso Sea". Long-standing fans of Reilly will be intrigued by "For Friends Everywhere", which rearranges ‘For Belgian Friends' (from 1980’s A Factory Quartet) for an orchestral octet.
Every single piece of music writes itself, Reilly comments in the album's press release. "From the moment we're born we're never ever instigative, only ever reactive. It's like Newton's law of motion, if you’re not pushing against anything, you lose momentum."
Renascent also looks to Reilly's roots, with artwork from Factory Records designers Mark Holt and Hamish Muir of 8vo. Meanwhile, the album will carry a ‘Factory Too’ catalogue number. The album will be available on CD (with bonus track "All They See is Fire"), three vinyl variations (yellow vinyl; bottle green vinyl with alternate artwork and booklet; and Rough Trade exclusive split purple / green vinyl with flexi-disc featuring ‘All They See Is Fire’, limited to 500 copies. There's also a white cassette.
Renascent is out 31 July 2026 via London Records.
