Years & Years share tracklisting for new album

It looks like LP2 might be called ‘Palo Santo’.

Years & Years returned recently with the brilliant ‘Sanctify’, and now they’ve shared the tracklisting for their new album!

The ‘Communion’ follow-up features 11 tracks, with three bonuses added on, and the album looks to be called ‘Palo Santo’!

We recently spoke to Olly Alexander about the trio’s comeback, and the bonkers universe of ‘Palo Santo’ itself.

“This whole second album, when I was writing songs, I felt like I needed to actually go to some places that maybe I’d been hesitant to go to before. I think what’s special about music is hearing people’s voices and experiences. I know that this happens to a lot of queer people, and it keeps happening to me, so I’m gonna write a song about it.

“It’s surprising how much hearing that narrative is relatable, no matter what sexuality you are, y’know?” he says. “It is super important to me, to keep doing that. I have a really amazing opportunity in pop music to do that, so, I’m gon’ do it!”
