Snow Patrol will release a new studio album, A Hundred Million Suns, on Polydor/Fiction/Geffen Records October 28, 2008.

The advance single is “Take Back The City,” with a video shot in East London by director Alex Courtes (White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army”).

Gary Lightbody (vocals/guitars) says, “I’m so proud of this record.  Everybody played out of their skin. Garret (Jacknife Lee) continued his progression from maverick genius to one of the best producers in the world.  Musically, lyrically, and sonically the best record we’ve made”

The new album — the band’s fifth studio set – was recorded throughout the Summer of 2008 in Hansa Studios in Berlin (where Bowie recorded Low, Heroes and Lodger), and at Grouse Lodge deep in the Irish countryside. Written by Snow Patrol, the album was produced by Garret “Jacknife” Lee (Bloc Party, REM, U2).

A Hundred Million Suns follows up the 2006 Number One, seven-time platinum album, Eyes Open, which featured the giant hit “Chasing Cars.”
