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.

Here's a preview! Loving the new sound.

Hottest Record tomorrow! I'm not sure about their new look though. :lol:

 

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

What a return!

 

Yeh this sounds great, not my fav lead of theirs but damn decent anyway!

The album is out on August 23rd!

#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.

Wow didn’t realise that, is it still rising this week?

Unfortunately not - but it’s still just about still in the Top 100!

3 weeks top 100 is a unbelievable chart run for a band like them!

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

 

‘Favourite’ is currently being teased on their socials! I can’t wait for its release.

Hype! 'Starburster' is one of my favourite songs of the year so far :wub:

It's out on Tuesday
