In the Belly of the Brazen Bull is the fifth studio album by British indie rock band The Cribs via Wichita Recordings.

In December, the band headlined the Clockenflap festival in Hong Kong, debuting material from the new album for the first time.

[8] Recording for the album began in summer 2011 with Queen producer David Richards, at Mountain Studios, Montreux.

Instead, the majority of the LP was recorded at Tarbox Road Studios, Cassadaga with producer and engineer David Fridmann in autumn and winter 2011 and early 2012.

A self-produced session at Abbey Road, London yielded the final four-song suite that closes the record.
