Recording

In an interview for Mixdown with band members Andy Wright and Owain Davies, Wright revealed the band had used equipment such as a BAE 1073 and an API 2500+ for a preamp, a McDSP APB analog processing box and a modded Neumann U 67 microphone during the recording for Ginkgo. [3] Recording took place within the band's studio in Nottingham, with Pieter Rietkerk engineering drums and guitars for the band. Most of the recording for the drums was done by Jon Nellen in his studio in Brooklyn. [3]

Wright also discussed how the recording process for Ginkgo was much easier than that of Failed at Math(s) ; this was because the band had more time to write and "more time to make mistakes". [3] The struggle of the band maintaining their regular jobs was also noted as a difficult factor of recording their previous album. [3]

Ginkgo was formally announced on 22 November 2024. [4] The announcement was accompanied with the release of the title track, "Ginkgo", and its music video, [5] filmed inside of a chicken coop. [4] A tour for North America, Europe and the UK in support of the album was announced on 10 December 2024; it is scheduled to begin on 28 April 2025. [6]

On 3 January 2025 a second single for the album was released, titled "Shandy in the Graveyard". [7] This second single featured a guest appearance from American rapper Billy Woods. [8] [9] "Honeycomb", the third single for the album, was released on 14 February 2025. [10] It was accompanied with an animated music video by Leah Putnam. [10] Ginkgo was released on both LP and digital services on 4 April 2025 through Nettwerk. [5] [1] After the album's release, "Lifestyle Trainers", "Florida" and "Shelled and Cooked" were released as singles on 23 May, 4 July and 29 August 2025 respectively.
