The Lonely Wound is an upcoming studio album by The Residents,[1][2] currently expected for release "around February 2027" through Cherry Red Records, MVD Audio and New Ralph Too.[3]
First announced in the February 2025 issue of the Cherry Red Residents newsletter, the album was initially described as "X-rated" and "far too sexually explicit for us to discuss online without Zucky and Musky's interference",[4] and later as "a collection of songs" with "no concept", except that "each song depicts a protagonist with a 'lonely wound'".[1]
The Residents had completed recording demos for the album by April 2025;[5] tracks demoed for the album include "Almost Alien" and "Strange Insect".[3] By January 2026, the group had begun recording instrumental backing tracks for the album,[1][6] however, the sessions were delayed for several months following "an unexpected and serious health-related matter" involving a member of the group.[1][2]
The album's recording sessions had concluded by August 2026,[3] with The Residents working on the album's final mixes with their producer Eric Drew Feldman.[2]
