Cold Years announce debut album ‘Paradise’

COLD YEARS have announced their debut album!

Titled Paradise, the upcoming album from the Scottish rockers is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via eOne.

“Our hometown is a shithole,” vocalist/guitarist Ross Gordon  spits, with characteristically direct candour. “The album is called Paradise because Aberdeen is not a paradise. It’s horrible, it’s grey, and it’s cold all the time. We all live and work here, and it’s not very happy. It’s quite morbid when you stop to think about it. But at the same time, it’s home. There’s an ongoing narrative about how fucked everything is at the moment,” Ross says of the thread that ties otherwise disparate themes together, whittled down, he estimates, from an initial 60 songs.“It links everything really, not just purely politics. It’s linked to the economy, to drugs and alcohol, and what our generation is going through right now. You work hard in school, you train for your career and you try to succeed at it, but the reality is that none of it really fucking matters. It’s a record that’s angry because, as a generation, we feel like we’ve been sold short.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming debut; Night Like This.
