'A Hundred Million Suns' will be out on October 27

Snow Patrol will release a new album, 'A Hundred Million Suns', on October 27.

The Scottish band will precede the release of the album with a single, 'Take Back The City', out October 13.

The album, which will be the band's fifth, was recorded this summer in Berlin and Ireland with producer Jacknife Lee.

Speaking about the album frontman Gary Lightbody said, "I'm so proud of this record. Everybody played out of their skin. Garrett [Jacknife Lee] continued his progression from maverick genius to one of the best producers in the world.

"Musically, lyrically and sonically the best record we've made."

'A Hundred Million Suns' will be the band's first album released since 2006's 'Eyes Open', the UK's best-selling album that year.

Eyes Open is one of the best albums I've ever heard, even despite the fact that all the best songs were heavily overplayed, if this one's even half that good it will be delicious.
