Manic Street Preachers on their new album Critical Thinking

Recorded at their Door To the River Studios, James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire join Huw to chat the Manic's new album.

James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire join Huw to chat the Manic's new album Critical Thinking.

Recorded at their Door To The River Studios, the studio where most of Critical Thinking was recorded, James and Nicky sit down with Huw for an hour for a deep dive in to their new album. ‘Critical Thinking’ is the band's 15th record. It follows on from 2021’s ‘The Ultra Vivid Lament’, their second UK #1 Album. The album has produced UK Airplay hits in the shape of ‘Decline & Fall’ and ‘People Ruin Paintings’, alongside ‘Hiding In Plain Sight’ – a first single with Nicky Wire on lead vocals.

We'll have brand new music from Mould, and we'll have another quiz from Huw's Music Quiz Generator, giving one of you the opportunity to win a Music Sounds Better With Huw pinbadge. And Huw declares that your evening has begun with the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Run playlist at 5 o'clock.
