Squeeze Release Second Track From Highly Anticipated 2026 Album ‘Trixies’
Squeeze continue to pull back the curtain into the intriguing world of Trixies with the release of the second song from one of 2026’s most anticipated albums.
Their first album in eight years but the first they ever wrote, Trixies is a collection of stories set in a fictional night club written by the band’s founders teenage Chris Difford (19) and Glenn Tilbrook (16) at the very start of their songwriting partnership.
Back in 1974, when Trixies was written, the musical vision of the young creators exceeded their virtuosity. Now, fifty years on, that problem no longer exists for the band who have played more than 600 shows since reuniting in 2007. So what better way to mark 50+ years of Squeeze than to complete the circle and realise the vision they had for Trixies? Now this precocious opening volley of songs – under the guiding production hand of Squeeze’s bassist Owen Biddle (The Roots, John Legend, Al Green) – finally gets to enjoy its moment in the spotlight.
Trixies Tracklisting:
What More Can I Say
You Get The Feeling
The Place We Call Mars
Hell On Earth
The Dancer
Good Riddance
Don’t Go Out In the Dark
Why Don’t You
Anything But Me
It’s Over
