New listeners will have a previously unavailable route into The Bible’s music when Anticlockwise arrives in November 2026. Although it is receiving its first release, the album dates back to 1989, when the British group were preparing to follow their first two records.
Those earlier releases, Walking The Ghost Back Home and Eureka, established a style rooted in acoustic pop but informed by folk and soul. The band’s growing profile was supported by “Graceland” and “Honey Be Good”, songs that brought wider recognition to their melodic songwriting.
For Anticlockwise, The Bible took on production duties themselves. Boo Hewerdine’s songwriting and Neill MacColl’s musicianship were central to the project’s identity, alongside the intricate arrangements and emotional restraint associated with the band. Despite that work, their label declined to release the album.
Its eventual arrival connects two audiences: followers who remember the band’s emergence and those encountering their work for the first time. Both will be able to discover a collection recorded during a formative stretch of The Bible’s career, finally available more than three decades after it was made.
