An album recorded by The Bible in 1989 will finally receive its release in November 2026. Anticlockwise, originally intended as the British band’s third album, was rejected by their record label and has remained unavailable for more than three decades.
The recording followed Walking The Ghost Back Home and Eureka, two albums that helped establish the group’s reputation for thoughtful acoustic pop. With “Honey Be Good” making an impression on the UK charts and “Graceland” bringing breakthrough recognition, the band approached their next project with growing momentum.
The Bible produced Anticlockwise themselves, bringing together intricate acoustic arrangements, soulful influences and carefully crafted songwriting. The creative partnership of singer-songwriter Boo Hewerdine and guitarist Neill MacColl was central to a sound that drew from folk traditions while embracing the melodic accessibility of pop.
Its forthcoming release restores a missing part of the group’s recording history. Listeners will now be able to hear the album that was meant to follow Eureka, offering a fuller picture of The Bible’s musical development during the late 1980s.
