Glasgvegas return with the anthemic ‘Degüello’ and tell us about first album in six years, ‘Airy Fairy’
Developing story first seen 1 hour ago
Glasvegas have released ‘Degüello’, their first new music in six years, and announced their fifth album, ‘Airy Fairy’. Frontman James Allan says the single reflects a desire to move beyond his bad temper and moods, while the album grew out of frustrations making 2021’s ‘Godspeed’ and a renewed effort to enjoy working together as a band.
‘Airy Fairy’ is due on Friday 2 April, ahead of an 11-date UK and Ireland tour. Allan said the songs came from everyday thoughts, images and words, and hoped listeners would connect with them; guitarist Rab Allan suggested ‘Degüello’ as the first single. The title phrase, which James Allan once viewed negatively, now feels like part of who he is.
