Scottish alternative rockers Twin Atlantic will release their fourth studio album next September 9 on Red Bull Records.

It's titled GLA, was written in Glasgow and recorded in Topanga Canyon, L.A., where the band worked with Jacknife Lee (R.E.M., Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol) who had previously produced some tracks for the previous album Great Divide; Alan Moulder (Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Foo Fighters) handled the mixing duties to finalize the process.

Lead vocalist Sam McTrusty commented on GLA: "This is where we come from. It's laced in our blood not to mention our art and vision. It's bold. It's in our voice. It's time to embrace it and not work around it. This album is our reflection of what it's like to come from a city at the forefront of multiculturalism, both forward thinking and with a real sense of community, but also with a dark and rough history. We have changed our approach to writing and recording; we turned the idea of a rock band upside down, conforming only to this one idea - to take back rock and roll. To give people something real again. You can't get more real than Glasgow. Infamous for rivalry and danger. Passion and fear. Diversity and depth. Love and warmth. Small spaces and one climate. We have finally made the album we wanted to make."

The band has just released the video for their new single No Sleep: "It's a simple video. Us in our element. our natural environment. Just playing and reacting to the music. We didn't want to dilute the track with an elaborate visual. The textures projected behind and onto us were inspired by the album art we made for GLA. This is us. This is our music."

Los Angeles alternative rockers Silversun Pickups will release their brand new, fourth studio album Better Nature next week, on September 25.
It is the first of the band's albums to be released on their own label, New Machine Records.

The new record was once again produced by Jacknife Lee (Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro, Editors, R.E.M.), who handled the knobs on the previous Neck Of The Woods.

I'm urging you to watch the amazing video for Nightlight, the first single off Better Nature and one of my favourite songs of the last weeks: click on the image and enjoy it.

Also, following this link, you can stream the just released new single Circadian Rhythm (Last Dance), another winner of a track.

Scottish alternative rockers Twin Atlantic will release their third studio album next August 18 on Red Bull Records. Titled "Great Divide", it was mainly recorded at the Rockfield Studios in Wales and produced by renowned knob-wizards Jacknife Lee (R.E.M., Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol) and Gil Norton (Pixies, Feeder, Jimmy Eat World).

The first single/video "Heart And Soul" was released in April, while the second single "Brothers And Sisters" premiered on BBC Radio 1 last week as Zane Lowe's "Hottest Record In The World". The "Brothers And Sisters" single will be released on August 10 in the UK: the digital EP will also include a demo of an unreleased track, "Lost Ones" and an acoustic version of "Heart And Soul".

In other news, Twin Atlatic played at Glastonbury Festival last Saturday, June 28, on the John Peel Stage. If you're in the UK, you can watch the full set here; if not, you can at least get the live performance of "Heart And Soul" from that special day.
