Twin Atlantic announce new album ‘Meltdown’

March 10, 2024 James Weaver

TWIN ATLANTIC have announced a new album!

Titled Meltdown, the upcoming album from the Scottish alternative rock band is the follow-up to 2022’s Transparency, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via the band’s own Staple Diet.

The upcoming album was produced by frontman Sam McTrusty and bassist Ross McNae and mixed by longtime collaborator Romesh Dodangoda. Speaking about the recording process, McTrusty says, “over the last 18 months we have been relentlessly obsessing over the making of a new album. We built two studios to have our own freedom and space to dig deeper into the essence of our band. That freedom evolved into engineering and producing the album ourselves. Zero outside influences. What we’ve got in the end is something we are so proud of and feels like our best work yet. The time felt right to revisit our roots and dive back into the big chorus’s and massive guitars that shaped our band’s early years, but obviously having lived life and toured the world since then we found an evolution of that sound.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, TWIN ATLANTIC have released a new song from the upcoming album; World Class Entertainment. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Asleep and Stuck In A Car With You.

Speaking about the new song, McTrusty says, “sometimes during the making of an album, I can’t help but make fun of the whole thing. The day we wrote World Class Entertainment we set out to do just that. Turn everything up to 11, make every lyric sarcastic and opinionated. There’s a massive trend in the culture of excess and judgement, and that’s how this angsty fun flashing neon sign of a song was born. It’s great to be back kicking heads in with riffs. Lets go!”
