Gary Lightbody from Belfast-via-Glasgow band Snow Patrol has revealed the working title of their follow up to the bejillion-selling Final Straw... and it's Eyes Open.
Though the band are still in Grouse Lodge, Co Westmeath, to finish off the album, the title and the artwork designer - Ben Sansbury - have been all but decided.
Speaking about its musical progress, the frontman says: "We've experimented a lot more with sounds and odd instruments we've never used and pushed ourselves as far as we can but the essence of what we are is still the same. Essentially it's based around melody."
Track titles disclosed include 'It's Beginning To Get To Me', Make This Go On Forever', 'You're All I Have', 'Open Your Eyes', 'The Only Noise', 'Warmer Climate', 'You Could Be Happy' and 'Chasing Cars'.
He also revealed in a low-key webchat with fans on their official site, www.snowpatrol.net that the commercial success of the album is not a particular concern of theirs. "We were doing it for nearly ten years without success so I guess it's not very important to us.
"We'd love it if lots of people heard this though as i know it's our best stuff. It should be better each time or, in the words of Mr Myagi [from Karate Kid, you better 'pack up go home'. Don't need millions of album sales to be happy though."
The album is intended for release in April next year.
