Dead Sould Collide is the eleventh album from long-time club sponsors Black Swan Lane. Read all about it below

Didcot Town FC’s sponsors Black Swan Lane are releasing their eleventh full length
album on 28 th November 2023.

The US-based ‘indie-rock’ band are releasing ‘Dead Souls Collide’ on Eden Records
which will be the follow-up to their 2022 highly acclaimed album, Blind. The new
release was recorded and mixed over the course of ten months at Wanderland
Studios USA and mastered by Donn Aaron at Mixon Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. 
It's already a 2023 favourite of The Big Take-Over magazine, described by editor
Jack Rabid: “Full of beautiful post-punk power, this new release from Black Swan
Lane surpasses even their much loved previous albums ‘Hide In View’ and ‘Blind’.
The sponsorship arrangement between Didcot Town and Black Swan Lane, which
has latterly seen the band emblazoned on the back of the First Team shirts, is the
longest running of its type in the UK.

Diddy are by no means the only football club to have been sponsored by a rock band
– famously Wet Wet Wet were shirt sponsors for Clydebank; Goldie Lookin Chain
sponsored Newport County AFC while they were in the Southern League; Bad
Manners linked up with Margate FC and Super Furry Animals with Cardiff City in the
1990s; while more recently Fat Boy Slim (Brighton), Ed Sheeran (Ipswich) and Enter
Shakiri (St Albans City in the sixth tier of English football) have all agreed
sponsorship deals.

But none of these, or any other band-football club sponsorship
arrangement, has lasted over ten years (BSL first got involved with DTFC in season
2012.

The physical CD of Dead Souls collide is available to order from
https://blackswanlane.com/store-2 and the digital download (along with the band’s
full back catalogue) will be available at all major music download sites including
Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music from early December.
