New Glasvegas Album: "The Biggest Record I've Ever Heard"

added 17 January 2011 at 12.26

James from the band has been telling Xfm all about 'Euphoric /// Heartbreak \\\'...

The follow up to the band's critically acclaimed debut is out April 4.

Fan's can get a first taste with free download 'The World is Yours' now available on their website.

Speaking to Xfm's Sunta lead singer James says he is really impressed with what they have achieved:

"It's just absolutely beautiful and it sounds really arrogant but I honestly think it's the biggest record I've ever heard in my life."

'Euphoric /// Heartbreak \\\' was written in Santa Monica and recorded in London with producer Flood (Depeche Mode, U2, The Killers, PJ Harvey - to name a few).

James says the setting helped shape the sound of the album:

"Whatever picture we've got from Santa Monica I'm really glad that we've got that one but I don't think we'd have had that exact picture and I don't think we'd have had those sentiments expressed the way they were expressed in Santa Monica if we'd have been in, say, Glasgow."

The tracklisting for the album is:

1.    Pain Pain, Never Again

2.    The World Is Yours

3.    You

4.    Shine Like Stars

5.    Whatever Hurts You Through The Night

6.    Stronger Than Dirt (homosexuality pt.2)

7.    Dream Dream Dreaming

8.    I Feel Wrong (homosexuality pt.1)

9.    Euphoria, Take My Hand

10.  Lots Sometimes

11.  Change
