Lonely Robot, the art rock project fronted by brilliant British guitarist and musical visionary John Mitchell, has released a video for its latest single, the energetic Show The Way, which will appear on the project’s upcoming new studio album “An Ending”. The record, apparently the final studio album from Lonely Robot, is set for release on September 11, 2026, via White Knight Records.
You can check out the video below.
“An Ending” is the sixth and final album under the Lonely Robot name. John Mitchell, also known for his work with Asia, It Bites, Arena, Frost* and the late John Wetton, said: “I hope that with this album, Lonely Robot fans will find a fitting epilogue, one that holds the ten most creative years of my life.”
“Show The Way is a call to arms,” Mitchell says of the new single, adding: “There’s so much incompetence and manipulation in the world right now that I wanted to write something that pushes back against it. We can’t afford to sit on our hands while Rome burns.”
“I love songs that work as anthems, and this is one of them. It’s about finding a way out of the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into, and how to hold on to our humanity and what we have,” John Mitchell sums up the new single.
On the new album, Mitchell sings and plays guitar, bass and keyboards, while the drums on the new Lonely Robot record are handled by his Frost* bandmate Craig Blundell. Jez Fielder contributed additional guitars on The River and Rearview.
All tracks on the album were written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by John Mitchell, except for The River and Rearview, which were co-written by John Mitchell and Jez Fielder.
The album cover was created by Graeme Purdy Bell (Planet Twig).
