Dark Matters is the eighteenth studio album by British rock band the Stranglers, released on 10 September 2021 through Coursegood.

[2][28][29] Burnel's "If Something's Gonna Kill Me (It Might as Well Be Love)", which also includes a lyrical tribute to Greenfield,[30] was arranged by Warne as a Kraftwerk-inspired electro-pop track, complete with keyboard bass and programmed drums.

[30] The third post-Greenfield track, "The Lines", is a one-take recording featuring Burnel on acoustic guitar and Warne on lead vocals, with keyboards added later on.

[2] Dark Matters also marks the first Stranglers studio album since original drummer Jet Black stepped away from active performances in 2015.

It includes four of the Stranglers songs that Greenfield performed lead vocals on: "Dead Ringer", "Peasant in the Big Shitty", "Do You Wanna?"
