Pop-rock trio Scouting For Girls have revealed that they will release their third studio album ‘The Light Between Us’ on September 3rd.
The band, who’ve sold over a million records across the world, promised a ‘huge’ announcement last Wednesday, and didn’t disappointed with news of their highly-anticipated new LP. The album will be preceded by its first single 'Summertime In The City', out on 26th August 2012, and the band will be hosting a twitter chat today at 7pm at #scouting4girlschat to give fans an opportunity to ask them about their new album.
‘The Light Between Us’ is an album full of love songs recorded in 10 studios across the world with 5 producers, and has been 2 years in the making. Roy Stride comments on the beginning of the recording process saying: "We wanted to make an album with a concept behind it, we tried but the songs were rubbish, so we decided to write an album of singles instead!”
The eight months Scouting For Girls spent in the studio also produced some surprises. The album’s beautiful title track is a startlingly sparse ballad that lasts just over a minute, includes two great train metaphors (“There’s a light in this tunnel/And I think it’s a train” is one) and shows a new, soulful side to Stride’s vocal. The singer’s favourite song is album closer 'Make This One Last', a stunning, strings-soaked ballad that proves SFG can do tender slow songs without sounding soppy.
Stride says: “I’m counting on the song bringing the sun out. Imagine it as a telethon. The more people play it, the more the sun will shine. If it’s a hit, we’ll reach our target of endless glorious days. We could end up with an Indian Summer that lasts until November.”
As with most new albums nowadays, the band have promised a tour too - meaning you’ll soon get a chance to witness their new material performed live. Stay with Stereoboard for Scouting for Girls tour updates - we’ll let you know their official dates first.
