High Noon

“This album is classic Blondie – an amalgamation of all our different influences and eras into something new. This music feels grounded in the present, shaped by who we are and how we're living now”?–– Debbie Harry? 

The album was recorded in New York City with producer John Congleton?[St. Vincent, The War on Drugs, The Killers, Lana Del Rey], who previously worked with Blondie on their critically acclaimed album?Pollinator. Much of the material was recorded together in the same room, reflecting the collaborative spirit that has long been central to the band’s creative process. David Wrench?[Florence + the Machine, Jamie xx, Frank Ocean, Bon Iver, The xx]?later joined the project for additional production and mixing. 

High Noon?also marks the final recording of Blondie co-founder and drummer Clem Burke, who played on every Blondie album. When the band began recording, they could not have known the significance the album would ultimately carry. Following Burke’s passing,?High Noon?has taken on a deeper meaning for the band—a final chapter in an extraordinary creative partnership that spanned nearly five decades.
