New album The Boys of Dungeon Lane
On March 26, 2026 McCartney’s official site confirmed that The Boys of Dungeon Lane would arrive on May 29, describing it as his first new solo album in more than five years and highlighting its focus on rarely shared memories and newly written love songs. The label statement on his website notes that the sessions took place in short, efficient bursts between global tour dates, alternating between Los Angeles and his home studio in East Sussex.
Coverage in the British press underscores the introspective character of the record. One detailed report explains that the 14-track album has been presented as a collection of rare and candid insights into McCartney’s past, alongside new love songs, and situates it as a late-period work where detailed sonic memories and reflective storytelling take center stage. The Guardian’s album announcement linked this tone to the way McCartney revisits personal episodes and long relationships in his lyrics.
