Mighty Music is proud to announce the release of ‘What Are We Waiting For‘, the brand-new studio album from Danish rockers Electric Guitars, due out on October 30th, 2026. The band’s sixth studio album marks a bold new creative direction, with drummer Morten Hellborn taking over production duties and leading Electric Guitars into fresh sonic territory.
“I’ve wanted to take Electric Guitars into the future for a long time, if that makes sense; to leave the usual clichés behind and approach the band as if it were a brand-new project, free of rules and dogmas”, Mortem declares. “Taking full responsibility for the album has been an incredible journey. Soren produces other artists for a living, Mika works with top producers every day, so I definitely had to stay on my toes. I simply went for the sound and production that I wanted to hear, and the two guitarists fully embraced it. We’re incredibly proud of this album”, he concludes.
Recorded at Medley Studios Copenhagen, ‘What Are We Waiting For” is the first Electric Guitars album produced without founding members Soren Andersen and Mika Vandborg behind the controls. The final mix was also handed over for the first time, with former Duné member Ole Bjørn shaping the album’s modern and forward-looking sound.
“It was a real pleasure to let go of the responsibility for the production process and simply focus on being an artist this time”, Soren Andersen adds. “Instead of worrying about the technical side, I could concentrate on the songs, the performances, the expression and the energy. Morten encouraged us to introduce a lot more electronic elements, so I’ve been diving deep into synths and loops – something I’ve loved ever since growing up with Duran Duran and Depeche Mode”.
Despite its contemporary production, the album features more guitars than ever before, while deliberately moving away from traditional blues-based and classic rock formulas. Every song was carefully evaluated, resulting in what the band considers its strongest collection of material to date.
‘What Are We Waiting For‘ will be released on LP (black, limited to 500 copies), CD and digital formats on October 30th, 2026, via Mighty Music. Pre-orders are available – here.
The first two singles off the album, ‘Messenger‘and ‘High Note‘, are out now on all streaming services.
