Glasgow's Twin Atlantic have a new album 'Free' will be released on 3rd May through Red Bull Records. Produced by Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World).
We loved their previous mini-album Vivarium, so we can't wait to hear new stuff from 'Free'.
In describing the new batch of songs, frontman Sam McTrusty explains, “We wanted there to be a brutal honesty in the lyrics. There are love songs and relationship songs, there are some with a party vibe, and there are some that are weird, heavy and grungy pop songs.” Guitarist Barry McKenna adds, “Personally the only thing I wanted to achieve from this whole process is an album the four of us could stand by and invest ourselves in. We have done that.”
The title track and current single “Free” has already been garnering impressive spins on BBC Radio 1, and its companion video clip, directed by Howard Greenhalgh (Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun”) is airing on MTV, Kerrang! TV, and Scuzz TV and can be watched below;
Fresh off several highly buzzed about performances at SXSW last month, Twin Atlantic are now back home and preparing to head out on a headline tour of the UK/Europe starting April 27 in Belfast (see dates below).
