If it feels like ages since we've heard from Snow Patrol, it has been. The last time the UK band gave us an album was way back in 2011 with Fallen Empires, but it looks as if that's about to change.
Over the weekend, the band took to their Instagram to tease their upcoming seventh album, which is being produced by Jacknife Lee and expected out this year.
In the post, singer Gary Lighbody wrote: "For the folks asking about the new snow patrol album, #SP7, here's the news. we had a breakthrough recording session in Feb and are on the home straight. The awesome jacknife lee is in the producer's chair as usual and we have more time with him in the studio in may/june and will be finished at the end of june. hopefully that gives us plenty of time to bring the album out this year. that is the plan. Plans are fallible but we'll damn well try our best."
He also added: "There have been a few false starts so i didn't want to post something until i knew we were on the right track. we are. it's sounding mighty. i'm very proud of what we've done so far and cannot wait for you all to hear it. thank you all for your patience and support. 6 years is a bloody eternity between albums we know so the fact people are still asking when it's coming means a lot to us. we'll post updates from the studio from late may onwards. big love good people. gL.x."
At this point, that's all Snow Patrol are giving us on the upcoming album, but you can check out the post below as we await further details.
