Good Cop Bad Cop – the new project from Joe Carnall and Matt Helders – have confirmed their self-titled debut album will be released on March 29th.

This announcement comes with a lead single entitled Silk & Leather after the collaboration was first unveiled last month with Helders manning production on the songs composed by Carnall.




The pair were at the forefront of the Sheffield music scene around 2005 but while Helders went on to enjoy worldwide success with the Arctic Monkeys, it took a 2016 reunion for Carnall’s band Milburn to enjoy some mainstream acclaim of their own. They released an album, Time, a year later. “No matter the track, they keep the writing simple and to the point,” Live4ever’s review reads.

“It makes the songs more effective by giving them a cleaner edge, and also helps them stand apart from each other. In making each track its own separate entity, never simple homages or pastiches, by making them so distinct, Milburn have in turn made them more clearly their own.”
