Man/Woman/Chainsaw announce debut album ‘Cannonball’

London experimental six-piece Man/Woman/Chainsaw have announced details of their debut album, ‘Cannonball’, which is set for release this summer.

The band - made up of Billy Ward (vocals, guitars), Emmie-Mae Avery (vocals, keys/synths), Vera Leppänen (vocals, bass), Clio Harwood (violin), Lola Cherry (drums) and Billy Doyle (guitars) - have announced plans to release their first full-length on 7th August via their new label home of Fiction Records. Set to be eleven tracks in length, their forthcoming album will include their 2025 single ‘Only Girl’, as well as their evocative new track, ‘Nosedive’, which has been shared alongside this latest news.

Speaking of their new single - which was recorded at RAK Studios with producers Seth Evans (Geordie Greep, Black Midi) and Margo Broom (Fat White Family, Big Joanie) - the band’s Emmie-Mae has said: “It’s is a song about longing for both comfort and freedom simultaneously in a relationship through the metaphor of being an injured bird needing shelter. We turned it into a danceable upbeat track, which made the tone shift throughout the song as though you find a way to pick yourself up and fly away.”

As well as announcing details of their debut, the band have also scheduled a series of UK and headline shows for this autumn. Check out the tracklisting for ‘Cannonball’ and their live plans underneath the player, and hear ‘Nosedive’ below.
