"A New Athens" marks the sixth studio album by the English rock band The Bluetones, released on May 31, 2010, under CIA Recordings. Despite the band's established reputation, the album faced a disappointing reception, failing to chart in the Top 200 of the UK Albums Chart after its initial week of release.
The album's lead single, "Carry Me Home," made its debut on June 13, 2010, available for download, followed by a second single, "Golden Soul," released on November 14, 2010, also in digital format.
While "A New Athens" may not have achieved commercial success, it remains a significant addition to The Bluetones' discography, showcasing the band's continued musical exploration and dedication to their craft amidst the ever-changing landscape of the music industry.
