The Forest Is The Path: Onwards To The Endless EP

    Building on the panoramic dynamism of Snow Patrol’s 8th studio album 'The Forest Is The Path', the band headed back into the studio with producer Fraser T Smith in final weeks of 2024. The result was a number of brand new songs that the band didn’t want to sit on any longer than necessary. Led by the anthemic new single 'But I’ll Keep Trying', the new songs will be released on 12” Coke Bottle Clear vinyl as ‘The Forest Is The Path: Onwards To The Endless’

    3. What's Left In The Light

    The Forest Is The Path

      ‘The Forest is the Path’ is an album rooted in reflection, introspection and interrogation. One of its key building blocks, says Gary Lightbody – lead singer of Snow Patrol - was the idea of love from a distance. “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. 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.”



      It’s a theme addressed unblinkingly and unflinchingly on lead single ‘The Beginning’. “That’s kind of a summing up of this album,” Gary continues. “It’s a way of looking at various mistakes, any pain I may have caused, from a place where nothing is hurting anymore, except the memory when you pull it back into your mind. The memory itself is full of hurt but everything around it isn’t. You’re holding in your hand this ball of fire, but now you’ve got gloves on.”

      Songs For Polarbears - 25th Anniversary Edition

        Snow Patrol have produced their debut album on vinyl for the first time since its initial pressing of 1,000 copies. A 25th Anniversary limited edition will be available on Arctic Pearl White vinyl and includes an exclusive Art Print adapted from the original promotional poster for the album and with a lyric quote on the reverse. Originally released on August 31st 1998, this limited edition of ‘Songs for Polarbears’ will be available on Jeepster Recordings for release on November 10th 2023.

        The debut album by Snow Patrol was written and recorded by the three original members: Gary Lightbody, Mark McClelland and Jonny Quinn and also features members of Belle and Sebastian on several tracks.

        Described in 1998 by Melody Maker as “somewhere betwixt the folksome musing of Sebadoh and the laserbeam noiz of lots of excitable bands your mother wouldn’t like”.

        The singles released from the album at the time were:
        • Little Hide
        • One Hundred Things You Should Have Done In Bed
        • Velocity Girl/Absolute Gravity (double A-side)
        • Starfighter Pilot

        Starfighter Pilot was originally recorded for Electric Honey Records under the Stow College project. It was released on CD by Jeepster as both a 3-track EP and a version including remixes by Richard Colburn of Belle and Sebastian, Paul Leonard-Morgan, Cut La Roc and Steve Hitchcock, also distributed on white label vinyl to clubs. Promotional videos were released for all four singles.

        The album was recorded between August 1997 & June 1998 at Chamber Studios in Edinburgh, Scotland with Jamie Watson as producer
