Description
Deacon Blueadvance their vast creative and commercial renaissance with therelease of their brand new studio albumBelievers.Believersis the third part of a trilogy that begun with The Hipsters in 2012 andcontinued with A New House in 2014. As such it continues a songwritingtrajectory that is all rich, idiosyncratic and sharply honed at once and inevitablycoloured by a sense of urgency to make sense of recent events, both personal andglobal.The first singleThe Believersis a song reflecting, in part, on the scenes ofdespair among refugees attempting to cross the Mediterranean and elsewhere but nevertheless cast as an anthem of hope.Believersis the bands 8th studio album and consists of 12 tracks, written or cowrittenby Ricky Ross. The record was produced and mixed by producer andfriend Paul Savage Mogwai, Arab Strap, The Twilight Sad, Wu Lyf whopreviously worked with the band on The Hipsters. Two tracks were mixed byGrammyMichael Brauer Coldplay, John Mayor.Ricky Ross says of the album trilogy now completed with the new record TheHipsters was about the band my love letter toDeacon Blue. Our last album ANew House was about our country, Scotland. This album is about the journey weall take into the dark. You come to that point in your life where whatever youvebeen told, whatever the evidence youve been presented with you just dontknow what the answer is. At which point you can only rely on instincts of yourheart. You either take the leap or you dont.AndDeacon Bluesure did and what a big leap they took
