Squeeze return with Trixies, a full studio album arriving March 6 2026, built from a remarkable stash of songs Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook wrote as teenagers. Unearthed from an old cassette and reborn half a century later, the album feels like a secret doorway into the band’s earliest creative spark. Their new single “Trixies Part One” sets the tone, offering a glimpse into a fictional nightclub world the pair imagined long before they ever recorded their debut.
The writing is vivid, brash and bursting with youthful nerve, shaped by the pair’s early obsession with concept albums and the pulp energy of Damon Runyon’s storytelling. Tracks like “The Place We Call Mars,” “Don’t Go Out In the Dark,” and “Why Don’t You” crackle with the swagger of two young writers dreaming far bigger than their musical chops allowed at the time. Now, with decades of craft behind them, Squeeze finally give these songs the muscle, colour and finesse they once lacked, completing a creative loop fifty years in the making. Tilbrook says the rediscovery moved him to tears, while Difford calls the songs a revelation.
The revived Trixies stands not as nostalgia but as a celebration of instinct, imagination and unfinished business finally finished. And with another brand new Squeeze album already lined up to follow, the band’s next chapter looks unexpectedly electric.
