Glasvegas to release new album after seven years

Glasvegas have announced that they are working on new music for the first time in seven years.

Last night, the Glasgow band released a statement saying they were excited to make a comeback and apologised that it took so long.

In the statement, frontman James Allan said: "It’s been 7 years since we released new music so, yeah, I guess an explanation why is overdue,” Allan began his post.

“I made the decision to record, engineer and produce our latest album free of any outside assistance, which for the bands momentum maybe didn’t seem like the safest path or on paper the most logical idea. But I couldn’t help listening to where my heart was telling me to go.

“The choice was not random. Nothing is random. It all has to relate in a total kinda way. So with the band’s blessing/support, we began."

He continued: "Yeah, I’ve been cluelessly occupying the deep end all splashing arms ‘n’ legs and almost losing the only few marbles I had to begin with.

“All this aside, I’m sorry it took this long. All along the way I wished I could’ve done it faster and gave myself a hard time for not being able to. So now I am in a good flow – the place I hoped this would lead and I want to thank you for being patient.

“I know I’m a bit daft sometimes….. obviously to my limitations.

“P.S. New music is coming… very soon….. xxxxxxx”

And fans couldn't contain their excitement.

One said: "It will be worth the wait. Incredible band. Can’t wait to hear the new stuff."

Another added: "Absolutely Amazing news. Cant wait to hear it. Keep on dreaming."

"Great news pal. Super excited you’re back on track", another said.

The band is made up of frontman James Allan, guitarist Rab Allan, bassist Paul Donoghue and drummer Jonna Löfgren.
