Snow Patrol will release "A Hundred Million Suns" (Polydor/Fiction/Geffen Records) on October 28. The album is preceded by the fantastic single "Take Back The City" which comes with a video shot in East London courtesy of acclaimed video director Alex Courtes. Gary Lightbody says, ""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." The Grammy-nominated band's fifth studio album was recorded throughout the summer of 2008 in Hansa Studios in Berlin and at Grouse Lodge deep in the Irish countryside. Written by Snow Patrol, the album was produced by Lee. Snow Patrol is one of the biggest selling U.K. bands this decade. "A Hundred Million Suns" follows up the 2006 seven-times platinum phenomenon "Eyes Open" which sold 2.1 million copies in the U.K. and over one million in the U.S.
