A warmer, more intimate return from one of Britain’s most quietly influential duos.
Blue Reservoir is the eleventh studio album from Everything But The Girl, the best-selling partnership of singer-songwriters Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt.
Inspired by the pair’s unexpected return to live performance in 2025—a long-running, sold-out residency at London’s intimate MOTH Club—the record steps away from the sharply lit electronica of 2023’s acclaimed comeback album Fuse. Instead, Thorn and Watt reconnect with some of the foundational influences and ideas that have shaped their music since forming in 1982.
For Fans Of: Tracey Thorn, Saint Etienne, The xx.

Buying from 12 Bar
Everything you need to know about ordering from 12 Bar—real people, thoughtful service and carefully sourced records.
Why shop with 12 Bar?
We're an independent record shop built around music discovery. Every purchase supports a small team passionate about sharing great music, championing independent artists and creating a thriving music community.
Every title on 12-bar.com has been chosen by real music lovers—not algorithms. We focus on records we genuinely believe deserve to be heard, helping you discover artists, labels and sounds you might not find elsewhere.
How long will my order take?
Many of the records we sell are sourced to order from our trusted network of UK distributors, allowing us to offer thousands more titles than we could ever stock in-store. Please allow up to 7 working days for dispatch.
If you've pre-ordered a record, we'll always aim to dispatch it in time for release day so it arrives on, or as close to, the official release date as possible.
Why does dispatch take a little longer?
We're an independent record shop, not a warehouse. Rather than filling shelves with thousands of records that may never sell, we carefully source many titles once you place your order.
It means a wider catalogue, less waste and more opportunities to discover great music.
How are records packaged?
Every record is packed using purpose-made vinyl mailers with protective packaging to help ensure it arrives safely.
Whenever we can, we'll also include a few 12 Bar stickers, our latest zine and other little extras to make opening your order feel just as special as playing the record.
