After teasing the project during their Coachella set earlier this year, BROCKHAMPTON has officially announced their final record, The Family. The album is scheduled to release on November 17 via RCA Records and Question Everything.
The group made the announcement on Instagram with two visual trailers. The first, titled “I Miss the Band Already,” delivers a bevy of black-and-white, behind-the-scenes moments from the making of the band’s debut studio album, Saturation, as well as clips from their recent Coachella performance. The second is an official album teaser, which sees vocalist Kevin Abstract pull a number of comical items out of his backpack, including a rubber duck, whoopie cushion and a chattering teeth toy, before revealing an iPod Nano that subsequently plays a snippet of new music.
After sharing the two teasers, BROCKHAMPTON dropped the official album cover, which dons a kaleidoscopic collage, alongside the following caption: “THE FAMILY NOVEMBER 17 EXEC PRODUCED BY BEARFACE AND BOYLIFE.”
The Family will follow the band’s 2021 record, Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine. According to a release, the new album is “a story about BROCKHAMPTON.”
BROCKHAMPTON announced an “indefinite hiatus” in January of this year, canceling almost all of their previously-scheduled 2022 shows, aside from two at London’s O2 Academy Brixton and Coachella. The album will mark their last body of work as a band.
Look out for BROCKHAMPTON’s final record, The Family, on November 17, and watch the group’s teaser visuals below.
