I’m very excited about this album in a way that you would be making your first record. If there was an overall theme to “Come Ahead” it might be one of conflict, whether inner or outer. The title is a Glaswegian term. If someone threatens to fight you, you say, ‘come ahead!’ It’s redolent of the indomitable spirit of the Glaswegian, and the album itself shares that aggressive attitude and confidence. They have a word for this up there, gallus. “Come Ahead” quite a cheeky title too.
Described as featuring “some of the most personal songwriting of the band’s career” the sessions were completed between Belfast, London and Los Angeles with guitarist Andrew Innes and Holmes.
“Come Ahead” will be released on 8th November, via BMG Records.
