Description

Having surprise announced their return after four years away with a standalone February single, legendary Scottish five-piece, Trashcan Sinatras follow up to announce their first album in ten years
Espousing the "less careerist and more careering" definition of a life inside Trashcan Sinatras over the last forty years, the unchanged line up of Reader, Paul Livingston (guitars), John Douglas (guitars), Stephen Douglas (drums) and Davy Hughes (bass) has slowly shaped eleven new songs via writing sessions scattered between mountain cabins, late-night poker sessions and quiet everyday routines. Prior to this year's announcements, the last release from Trashcan Sinatras was the accomplished Lay Of The Land EP in 2022. Celebrating a four-decade journey as a band this year, Trashcan Sinatras' story began in 1986, signing to Go! Discs two years later. Their formation in Irvine on Scotland's west coast. Blew a fresh breeze into observational, literary and frequently romantic British guitar music. Initially supercharged by their 1990 debut album Cake and the standout single Obscurity Knocks, a further five albums followed, including 1993's I've Seen Everything, featuring hit track, Hayfever, and their third record, A Happy Pocket, originally released in 1996 and rediscovered by a new generation in 2023 when it's reissue returned the band to the UK Official Albums Chart.
