After a ten-year break from recording, the Wildhearts released Renaissance Men as their first studio album since ¡Chutzpah!

ten years earlier, in January 2019 alongside a short promotional UK tour to coincide with its release.

[4] The band released "Dislocated" as the lead single from the album on 15 February 2019, which Ginger explained was "a song about mental health issues".

[7] In a track-by-track album guide for Classic Rock magazine, he elaborated about the song's meaning: "'Dislocated' is about how bullying has turned into a more vicious sport since the advent of social media.

[...] The song was written about a girl I knew who was really affected by some stuff that was being said about her on Facebook, and it got to the point where she was so fed up with it all she was threatening to commit suicide.

[4] Neil Johnson of Louder Than War rated Renaissance Men as 9.5 out of a possible ten, also describing the album as "darker" than previous releases, praising the production of the tracks, and concluding that "Frankly, there isn't a bad song here".

The magazine's editor Siân Llewellyn hailed the release as "An absolute belter from start to finish" and "all killer and no filler", describing it as "triumphant, galvanising, thrumming with melody and energy and attitude and intent".
