Snow Patrol have released their new single ‘This Is The Sound Of Your Voice’ via Polydor Records/Universal Music Ireland.

The song is the second track to be shared from the Northern Irish band’s upcoming new album The Forest Is The Path, which is set for release on September 13 and marks their return after six years, following 2018’s Wildness.

Produced by Fraser T Smith (Adele, Dave, Stormzy) and the band, ‘This Is The Sound Of Your Voice’ follows on from the debut track off the album,‘The Beginning’, released in May.

The group recently announced details of an 8 date UK and Ireland Arena tour in 2025, as well as a headline performance in Thomond Park Stadium in Limerick where they will play to over 25,000 fans on July 12 this year.

‘The Forest Is The Path’ was written by band members Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid and features twelve tracks.

Fraser T Smith, Will Reynolds, Roy Kerr and Troy Van Leeuwen (QOTSA) also contributed to the writing on some of the songs on the album. The album and single artwork feature paintings by Gary Lightbody.

“I haven’t been in a relationship for a very long time, 10 years or more, so love from a distance to me meant the way a relationship sits in your memory from a distance of, say, 10 years. That’s not something I’d previously thought about as a way to write about love,” Lightbody said of the album.

“So it’s like, when you’re in love, you’re standing in the lobby of the Empire State Building. When you’ve broken up with that person, you’re out in the street. You can still see the building, but you’re not in there anymore. And when it’s 10 years later, now you’re standing in Brooklyn looking at the Manhattan skyline.”

Snow Patrol will be performing in 3Arena, Dublin on February 25 and SSE Arena, Belfast on the 27.
