The Snow Patrol frontman spoke to Radio X's Dan O'Connell about their forthcoming record and explained why it's his favourite album they've done to date.
Gary Lightbody has never been more "proud" or "excited" to release a Snow Patrol album.
This week, the band shared the details of their new album, the Forest Is The Path as well as its stunning lead single The Beginning and their frontman told Radio X's Dan O'Connell why it's his favourite record they've produced yet.
"I've never been more proud nor more excited... I've never been more excited to release a record than this one," he told The Evening Show. "It's a record I'm just so proud and also in love with, which I suppose maybe everybody maybe feels that way...
"But I think after certain points in your career, especially after 30 years, to feel as invigorated and energised and as in love with the process and in love with the result and happy about how things have gone and are going, I think it's pretty much a triumph after 30 years of doing it."
He added: "I hope I haven't set it up too big!"
Asked if it feels like a "favourite album" he paused, before answering: "Yeah. Yeah it's my favourite record we've done. It just.. It is."
On the single Lightbody told Radio X: "It was the first one we wrote on the first day and it kind of set us on the track for the rest of the record."
The Forest Is the Path is the band's first studio release in six years and is set for release on 13th September 2024.
It follows their previous album Songs for Polarbears (1998), When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up (2001), Final Straw (2003), Eyes Open (2006), A Hundred Million Suns (2008), Fallen Empires (2011) and Wildness (2018).
