'''''Renaissance Men''''' is the ninth [[Album#Studio|studio album]] by British [[Rock music|rock]] band [[The Wildhearts]]. Recorded at Treehouse Studio in [[Chesterfield, Derbyshire]], it was produced by Jim Pinder and released on 3 May 2019 by Graphite Records, as the group's first studio album in ten years. The album was the band's first release since ''[[P.H.U.Q.]]'' in 1995 to reach the top twenty of the [[UK Albums Chart]], peaking at number 11. Opening song "Dislocated" was released as the only [[Single (music)|single]] from the album.
After a ten-year break from recording, the Wildhearts released ''Renaissance Men'' as their first studio album since ''[[¡Chutzpah!]]'' in 2009. The album received positive reviews from critics, who likened it to the band's 1993 debut ''[[Earth vs the Wildhearts]]'' and 1995 album ''[[P.H.U.Q.]]'' Following its release, the band released the EP ''Diagnosis'', which featured the song of the same name alongside five new tracks. Both were promoted on a tour which spawned 2020's ''[[30 Year Itch]]'' album.
