Lottery Winnners Announce Fourth Studio Album 'KOKO' With Lead Single You Again

Lottery Winners have announced their fourth studio album.
The follow-up to 2023's chart-topping 'ART (Anxiety Replacement Therapy)' is titled 'KOKO' and will arrive on February 21 via Modern Sky.
Produced by Tristan Ivemy, it'll feature guest spots from Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, Shed Seven's Rick Witter and Frank Turner, who makes his third consecutive appearance on a Lottery Winners LP. Check out the tracklist below.
To coincide with the announcement, the Manchester four-piece have shared the lead single, You Again, an indie-pop collaboration between vocalist and bassist Katie Lloyd and Jon McClure from Reverend and The Makers. Lloyd said:
"We all love Jon. He’s the best storyteller you could ever meet, such a wicked guy. Jon is so charismatic, the funniest person I’ve ever met. He’s so kind and warm. Talking to Jon feels like a cuddle from a grizzly bear. You Again is an absolute banger. If I had to bet on any song from KOKO being a hit, it’s You Again—which is annoying because Jon wrote the chorus, not me."
Commenting on the new record, singer, songwriter and guitarist Thom Rylance said: "Getting a No. 1 record was an amazing feeling of euphoria, but the comedown was almost immediate. I had an existential crisis, thinking: ‘Is this the best thing we’re ever going to do? How do we follow this up?’ It was an exciting time, but a real anxiety crept in."
Lottery Winners have also confirmed three shows at Manchester Academy for December 27, 28 and 29. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (September 27). A major tour is expected to be announced soon.
They also have previously scheduled shows lined up in Australia, Europe and the UK, including dates supporting Frank Turner, Jamie Webster, and Blossoms.
