Dead Club City is the fourth studio album by English alternative rock band Nothing but Thieves, released on 30 June 2023 through Sony Music UK. It was preceded by the singles "Welcome to the DCC", "Overcome", "Keeping You Around" and "Tomorrow is Closed". It is the band's first album to chart at number one on the OCC's UK Albums Chart.




Background


The band stated that the album's "overall narrative is formed by different characters and story arcs from in and around the city", and questioned "Is it a shared consciousness? Another planet? The next corporate wasteland? Heaven? Or somewhere else?" The album will also "introduce fresh elements in their rock-edged sound", with lead single "Welcome to the DCC" called "dance-enthused".
To work on the album in a different way, the band rented a country house in Essex for most of the recording process. They started working on the album on 28 August 2022. The album was finished in April 2023.
The release date was announced on 16 March through the band's social media accounts as 7 July. On 19 May, the release date was moved forward to 30 June.
On 29 January 2024, the band released "Oh No :: He Said What?", as well as announcing that a deluxe version of the album containing the song plus four others would be released on 15 March 2024.
On 17 July 2024, it was announced that an extended version of the deluxe edition of the album would be released exclusively on streaming services on 19 July 2024. It features live recordings of three tracks performed at Wembley Arena, London and Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam.




Cover art


The album's cover art was designed by artist Luke Brickett taking inspiration from world fairs such as Expo 70 and Epcot. A physical 3D model of the structure was printed and lit before being photographed on film for the cover.




Critical reception



Eleanor Noyce, reviewing the album for Clash, described it as "distinctly Nothing But Thieves, but with a fresher, funkier twist and a concept album foundation". Noyce also called it "cleaner cut, with more layers" as well as "inundated with huge, floor-filling bangers, stunning falsetto and thunderous guitar riffs".
