Paranoid London have unveiled details of their forthcoming studio album ‘Arseholes, Liars and Electronic Pioneers’, set for release on February 9, 2024.
The record includes a star-studded list of features, from Fat Dog’s Joe Love to Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, Josh Caffe, DJ Genesis, Jennifer Touch, and Mutado Pintado.
’Love Ones Self’, the first single from the LP featuring Joe Love, is out now. The track is said to be a facetious ‘celebration of masturbation’. Listen here.

“We’ve been beavering away in the studio for months now & we’re finally ready to put out our new single & album,” Paranoid London announced on Instagram.
They added that the album features “our usual mix of bezzies & new friends”, and claim that it “doesn’t fuck around”. “There’s all sorts of weird and wonderful things like limited edition vinyl pressings with free CDs of edits & different covers,” they said.
The record also features the duo’s long-term collaborator Josh Caffe, who appears on ‘Start To Fade’, a track rooted in classic Chicago house by the likes of Jamie Principle and Master C&J.

“The album has a slightly more Hi-Fi sound than previous efforts, but retains the urgency and punk rock attitude that we’re known for,” says the duo’s Quinn Whalley. “It was tested over the summer, where it lit up festival stages at Glastonbury, Houghton, Love International, and many, many others.”
Paranoid London also announced their new live A/V tour, due to begin in 2024. They’re also set to perform at Barcelona’s Nista this month, London’s Drumsheds in December, and Simple Things in Bristol next February.
