Claptone unveils Wanderer, a new studio album out May 8, 2026 that deepens his sonic universe while favouring atmosphere, restraint and evolution.
Claptone has confirmed the release of his fourth studio album, Wanderer, due on 8 May 2026 via his Golden Path imprint in partnership with Warner ADA. Teased over the past year, the record marks both a continuation and a subtle recalibration of the producer’s long-established sonic universe.

In an era of overexposure, Wanderer embraces the power of the unknown; record that offers escape without detachment, introspection without isolation, and invites listeners into a parallel space where curiosity opens hidden doors, where beauty lingers just beyond reach, and where even the quietest moments shimmer with possibility.
- Claptone
Across eleven tracks, Wanderer expands Claptone’s melodic house foundations through a more organic palette, integrating analogue textures and live instrumentation with restraint. The album moves fluidly between club-rooted structures and more introspective passages, favouring atmosphere and narrative over immediacy. Early singles—including Put Your Love On Me, Turn Up The Love and Phantasy—outlined this direction, while Black and Gold featuring Hannah Boleyn further established the album’s tonal balance.
You can also pre-order the beautiful “Golden Shadows on White Vinyl". The pressing is limited to only 300 copies worldwide and store exclusive to us in the EU and available to pre-order now here.

With Wanderer, Claptone presents a body of work that privileges subtle evolution over rupture, reinforcing his position as a producer whose identity is defined as much by continuity as by reinvention. You can pre-order it now here.
