| The Snuts announce details of their fourth studio album Joy In Short Moments, out 23 October via Happy Artist Records in partnership with Virgin Music Group, and share new single ‘Defibrillator’ – out now. Pre-order the album here. They have also announced a 16-date headline UK tour, taking them across the country this November. ‘Defibrillator’, an upbeat drum-filled future summer anthem, was inspired by the concept of a living wake – the idea of inviting your loved ones to a celebration of your life while you’re still there to be part of it. It is a song about choosing to show up for the people around you, letting go of ego, and finding joy in the collective. Produced by Cochrane and Scotty Anderson, it arrives as the lead track from an album that took two years and a great deal of real life to make. Speaking on the new single, Jack Cochrane says: “I wanted to write a track that detailed a conscious decision to live and love more. To take life less seriously and dilute ego as often as possible. ‘Defibrillator’ is a song that celebrates the collective and trivialises the sludgy worries of being alive.” ‘Joy In Short Moments’ is the sound of a band stepping back from the noise. Where previous records were made in a state of perpetual movement, this one was written from the other side of it – after Jack Cochrane moved back home, became a father, and began asking the questions that constant touring had kept at bay. The result is The Snuts’ most grounded record, and their most direct. Speaking on the album, Cochrane says: “After three records of constant motion, I felt pulled back towards real life. Success, failure, parenthood and loss all found their way into these songs. Joy in Short Moments is the sound of reconnecting with what matters and learning to find meaning in the small things whilst navigating the questions: Who am I? Where should I be? Where am I going? What makes it all worthwhile?” The band will perform at TRNSMT on 20 June – broadcast by the BBC – before heading out on an extensive tour this autumn. The Snuts have established themselves as one of the most successful breakthrough bands of recent years. Their debut album W.L. entered the charts at Number 1 in 2021, followed by their Top 3 second album Burn The Empire in 2022. Their independently released, self-produced third record, Millennials, reached Number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, making them the first act since One Direction to achieve three Top 3 albums in three consecutive years. The band have also sold out headline tours across Japan, Australia, Europe and North America, and recently headlined their first Scottish arena show at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.
