Snow Patrol\u2019s album Wildness,<\/em> their first album in seven years, is out now.\u00a0Wildness<\/em>\u00a0taps into something raw and primitive. Lead-singer and songwriter Gary Lightbody says of the album: \u201cThere are many types of wildness, but I think it can be distilled into two: the wildness of the modern age, all its confusion, illogic and alienation and a more ancient wildness. 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Purchase Wildness<\/em> on all formats here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the release of Wildness<\/em>, Snow Patrol has debuted new music videos for \u201cA Youth Written In Fire<\/a>,\u201d \u201cLife and Death<\/a>,\u201d \u201cWild Horses<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cA Dark Switch<\/a>.\u201d The band has previously released music videos for \u201cEmpress<\/a>\u201d \u201cWhat If This Is All The Love You Ever Get?<\/a>,\u201d \u201cLife On Earth<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Give In<\/a>,\u201d and you can watch them all here<\/a>. Additionally, Ed Sheeran showed his support in an Instagram video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Snow Patrol recently returned to \u201cLater… With Jools Holland\u201d where they debuted a live rendition of \u201cEmpress<\/a>,\u201d along with performances of \u201cLife On Earth,\u201d \u201cHeal Me,\u201d and \u201cChasing Cars<\/a>.\u201d This weekend the band played BBC Radio\u2019s Biggest Weekend<\/a> in Coventry. Snow Patrol also appeared as musical guests on\u00a0The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/a>\u00a0on April 19th<\/sup>\u00a0and The Late Late Show With James Corden<\/a>\u00a0on April 24th<\/sup>\u00a0and performed \u201cDon\u2019t Give In,\u201d the first single from Wildness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When sharing the playlist, the fan marks his\/her location as well as the recipient\u2019s location on a global map.

Since their 1998 debut,\u00a0Songs for Polarbears,\u00a0<\/em>Snow Patrol has racked up an impressive number of critical and commercial accolades, including 15 million global album sales, 1+ billion global track streams, five UK Platinum Albums, and are Grammy, BRIT Award and Mercury Music Prize nominated. After their\u00a0Fallen Empires<\/em>\u00a0tour ended in 2012, band members \u2014which also include multi-instrumentalist Johnny McDaid, guitarist Nathan Connolly, bassist Paul Wilson, and drummer Jonny Quinn \u2014 decided to take a step back from the band, and focus on their own projects. Gary Lightbody continued his work with his Tired Pony side project with members of Belle and Sebastian, R.E.M, Reindeer Section and Fresh Young Fellows and moved to Los Angeles to begin writing songs for movies (including \u201cThis Is How You Walk On\u201d for 2017\u2019s Gifted), and doing a number of high-profile co-writes with Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Biffy Clyro, and One Direction. Taking this extended break from Snow Patrol proved to be a source of inspiration, and writing songs that were not pulled directly from his own psyche helped heal what Lightbody considered to be not so much writer\u2019s block as life block.<\/p>\n
