Snow Patrol‘s newest album, A Hundred Million Suns, will hit stores on October 27 (UK) and 28 (U.S.) with the single “Take Back the City” to release on October 13.

The album, which was recorded in both Ireland and in Berlin, Germany this summer, will be the group’s follow-up to Eyes Open (2006),which sold around 5 million records. In response to the album, lead man Gary Lightbody said,

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.

“Best record we’ve made” is a pretty haughty thing to say considering this will be the group’s fifth album in 10 years. What can be said is that Snow Patrol didn’t often break from their recording in the coastal recording studio in Ireland. With this setting and the same producer (Garret Lee) that helped boost Eyes Open to such international success, “best record of the year” might once again be spouted.
