Kanadia Announce Third Album ‘The Fire That’s Tearing Through Our Home’ And Share Cathartic New Single ‘Too Late Now’

by | Jul 11, 2025

Oxford-based alternative rockers Kanadia have announced their third studio album, The Fire That’s Tearing Through Our Home, set for release on 26th September. A sweeping and emotionally charged 50-minute record, the new album is described as a sonic journey through the fragility and beauty of human emotion, with the band promising an abundance of dreamlike textures, massive hooks, and haunting melodies.

Leading the charge is new single Too Late Now, a brooding indie anthem that sees frontman James Bettis lay bare themes of regret, identity, and emotional burnout. Pairing delicate guitar work with explosive choruses and lush vocal harmonies, the track is both intimate and vast, continuing the band’s evolution in sound and vulnerability.

“It’s a song about holding on and having to accept that some things can’t be undone — that sometimes, it really is too late now,” says Bettis. “There’s a deep personal undercurrent for me in this one — about being a musician, dealing with anxiety and depression, and mourning a version of myself I’ve lost along the way.”

The single follows Going Nowhere, an atmospheric and bold first taste of the album that hinted at the band’s continued commitment to exploring sonic space and lyrical depth. The forthcoming album marks a significant evolution for the Oxford outfit, not only in sound but in lineup. The band now features Brazilian bassist Everton Barbato, joining longtime members Melissa Marshall (synth/keys) and Tim Lucas (drums), bringing a new creative synergy to the group. This sense of unity—born out of personal and professional turbulence—has fed directly into the album’s emotional core.

The record’s stunning title track, which closes the album, is a direct reflection of that upheaval. Written during one of the band’s most difficult moments, Bettis calls it “probably the most personal song on the album.” “I just felt like the home was the band and it was all being ripped apart,” he shares. “I want to hold on to the pieces.”

Despite its darker themes, The Fire That’s Tearing Through Our Home represents a shift toward acceptance and light, a counterbalance to the heavier introspection of their previous work. “Even though there are darker subject matters, I think the album feels more positive,” Bettis says. “There’s a light at the end of the tunnel… almost.”

The album was recorded at Evolution Recording Studios in the band’s Oxford hometown, produced by Chris Barker (guitarist for Willie J Healey), and mixed by Tom Leach (Lewis Capaldi, Pa Salieu, Spiritualized) at Snap Studios in London.

Ahead of the album’s release, Kanadia are currently supporting Black Foxxes on tour across the UK. They’ll also appear at Riverside Festival on 19th July and Together Again Festival on 25th July. The band will celebrate the new album with a special headline show at O2 Academy Oxford on 5th September, with more live dates expected to follow.
