British rock band Snow Patrol just announced that they will be releasing a new album on May 25th. Titled Wildness, the album will be band’s first release since 2011’s Fallen Empires. Alongside with the announcement, Snow Patrol revealed something of a trailer for the album, where we could hear a portion of one of their new songs.
“There are many types of wildness, but I think it can be distilled into two: the wildness of the modern age, all it’s confusion, illogic and alienation and a more ancient wildness,” – said band’s frontman Gary Lightbody about the album. “Something primal, alive and beautiful that speaks to our true connectivity, our passion, our love, our communion with nature and each other. This is the kind of wildness the album is centered around. The loss of it. Trying to reconnect with it. To remember it.”
Wildness will see Snow Patrol reuniting with their longtime collaborator Jacknife Lee, who produced all of band’s albums since 2003’s Final Straw. Album will be available for pre-order via band’s official website, and those who use this opportunity will have first access to the tickets for Snow Patrol’s upcoming shows. Although the band has yet to announce a tour, they will be playing on several music festivals across Europe in the summer.
