Claptone announces new album Wanderer, due May 2026 and available to preorder now

Claptone reveals new studio album Wanderer, landing May 2026, following recent singles with Seagirls, Crystal Fighters, Raphaella and Hannah Boleyn.

Date published: 10th Feb 2026

Claptone has announced his next studio album, Wanderer, set for full release on 8th May 2026, marking the masked producer’s fourth long-form release to date.

The record captures an artist in motion, drifting between destinations and seasons, intimacy and scale, imagination and lived experience. Analogue textures and organic instrumentation weave through his trademark melodic house framework, creating a sound that feels warm, spacious, and deeply considered.

The announcement follows a steady run of singles that have been quietly shaping the album’s direction. Recent releases include ‘Put Your Love On Me’ featuring Seagirls, ‘Turn Up The Love’ with Crystal Fighters, ‘Phantasy’ featuring Raphaella, and the most recent cut ‘Black and Gold’ with Hannah Boleyn. Together, they hint at a record that leans into deeper, more emotive moments while staying firmly rooted in Claptone’s signature house sound.

Wanderer follows 2015’s Charmer, 2018’s Fantast and 2021’s Closer, continuing Claptone’s knack for blending club-ready production with melodic songwriting and crossover appeal. With the new album, he looks set to further refine that balance — equally at home on festival main stages and late-night dancefloors. 

The record will also see an exclusive vinyl release, which fans are encouraged to snap up quickly. The beautiful “Golden Shadows on White Vinyl" pressing comes in a unique reflective gold sleeve. It is limited to only 300 copies worldwide and is a Claptone store exclusive.
