Snow Patrol returns with their 6th studio album “Fallen Empires”. Best known for slow building hits like “Run” & “Chasing Cars,” the Glasgow-based group teamed with producer Jackknife Lee after recording in California starting in late 2010. Guests on the album include R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, folk rock singer Lissie, and Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen who’s featured on the first single “Called Out In The Dark.”

“We wanted to make a massively ambitious record,” says singer Gary Lightbody in a release, “a record unlike anything we’ve made before”. We started writing songs that were more playful, even rawer then before – we were brave enough to do what we wanted as a band, rather then what convention dictated to us”.

Deluxe Version includes DVD with 10 songs live at the Royal Albert Hall!
