The Script have announced a new album Sunsets & Full Moons. The album is slated to be released on November 8th. The first single from the album, “The Last Time” is available now.
Sunsets & Full Moons is being labeled as a sequel to the Script’s debut album by the band and their label. Both albums emerged from emotionally turbulent times: O’Donoghue lost his father around the time of the release of their debut. And ten years later, he lost his mother as they worked on this album – with both his parents passing on Valentine’s Day. Naturally the songs began to reflect the band’s own personal experiences – and those are themes sure to resonate with their fans, too.
“I think it’s the most poignant record we’ve ever made,” asserts O’Donoghue. “Our music was always about being together with the audience, and writing about your own feelings, and sharing them”. The Script approached the album reinvigorated following a triumphant tour in support of 2017’s #1 album Freedom Child. Again echoing their early days, the band embraced the unifying power of the simple things – killer hooks, insistent melodies and stirring sentiments. They opted to produce the album themselves, staying close to home at their unshowy space in Metropolis Studios, with help from mixing master and old friend Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, Manny Marroquin, and Dan Frampton.
“No frills, no production, just us playing as a band,” notes Sheehan. “It’s us doing what we do best.” Upcoming Tour Dates for The Script:
