Letters I Haven't Written, the seventh album by British singer-songwriter Gwyneth Herbert,[1] was released on 12 October 2018.[2] It was produced at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth and, like Herbert's previous album The Sea Cabinet, was crowdfunded.[3] The songs on the album, all written by Herbert, have been described as "exquisitely crafted".[4] On the subjects of "love, gratitude and protest",[5] they are about the lost art of letterwriting.[1][6] Reviewing the album for Jazzwise magazine, Peter Quinn said that "Letters I Haven't Written is by turns moving, thrilling and entrancing".[6]

Music from the album was previewed in a touring show which Herbert and her band performed at UK venues in 2017.[7]
