Snow Patrol - Eyes Open / You're All I Have
Another highlight among many is "Set The Fire To The Third Bar", a haunting duet with Martha Wainwright. Gary's voice works perfectly with Martha's, neither taking the lead, neither fading into the background. Final track on the album "Finish Line" is the aural equivalent of an ice sculpture in a cathedral. Ethereal and hymn-like, it's a rare perfect moments and the perfect way to close the record.
The band recently announced a low key UK tour, and all dates sold out in record time, with London's Koko going in less than 10 minutes (setting a venue record for a sell out n the process), and the Glasgow show taking less than 1 minute. Fans who missed out on tickets should keep their eyes peeled though, as there may yet be a chance to see them play live soon.
"Final Straw" made Snow Patrol into one of the biggest bands in the country - supporting U2, playing live8 and almost a million and a half albums sold. "Eyes Open" will take them on the next leg of their journey.
A sensational introduction to the new album, 'You're All I Have' is classic Snow Patrol - guitars hook you straight away and the three part vocal which immediately transports you into a sparkling other world, all done with increased bigness and boldness from their last album, the 4x platinum 'Final Straw'.
Snow Patrol have also been confirmed as headliners at The Eden Sessions, on August 27th, which takes place in the amazing setting of The Eden Project in Cornwall.
