They recently filmed a music video for a song set to release "in a month or two"! Hopefully it can live up to 'Skinty Fia' - their best album for me by some distance.
Hottest Record tomorrow! I'm not sure about their new look though.
The new single is 'Starbuster', and the album is titled 'Romance'. They're also now signed to XL Recordings - home of Overmono, Radiohead & Peggy Gou - and Adele until 2021.

Can’t wait, this is coming at a time when the Grian Chattan album is my favourite album of the moment nearly 9 months after release!

Ooh, so incredibly excited for this, great news.
Grian's solo album last year was rly good too - I especially loved “Fairlies” and I feel like all of that project captured something so perfect - “I Love You” was my number 1 of 2022 and Skinty Fia is one of my most replayed albums of the 2020s so far. <3

#52 on Spotify today and #200 on Apple Music (with T. Swifty above of course) - very impressive seeing as they've never charted on either platform before.
(at least in the UK, I think they may have had one or two songs make the Spotify Ireland chart)

#56 in the mids! Hopefully it will still be Top 75 by Friday.

Not much of a surprise, it’s been added to the Radio 1 playlist today.

probably the best i've heard from these guys so far, those gasps on the chorus were a genius touch x

It was a surprise to see 'Starburster' actually rise in its second week! It now has a peak of #59.
Posted by: Steve201 8th May 2024, 06:35 PM
Wow didn’t realise that, is it still rising this week?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 8th May 2024, 06:57 PM
Unfortunately not - but it’s still just about still in the Top 100!
Posted by: Steve201 8th May 2024, 09:08 PM
3 weeks top 100 is a unbelievable chart run for a band like them!

New song 'Favourite' was performed live last night, sounds gorgeous! A little bit Smiths-y.
