Untitled

Fallen Empires is the sixth studio album by Snow Patrol. Gary Lightbody announced the title on 21 July 2011.[1][2] The album was released on 11 November 2011.[3]

Background and development

When asked about the writing process for the album on 7 September 2011, Gary Lightbody commented by saying "It's the longest album we've ever made by far but also the best. We took our time and I also had some bouts of writer's block. It's the first time it's happened for such a long time. I've had days when I haven't been able to write. Since 2009 I've gone through three writer's blocks but I'm glad because the results are great afterwards. They probably made me write better songs."[4] Snow Patrol plans to go on a "Fallen Empires tour" in 2012 with the first date being at the O2 in Dublin.[5] with an expanded UK and worldwide tour to be announced shortly.

Singles

  • "Called Out in the Dark" was released as the first single from the album on 2 September 2011 in the UK as an EP.[6] A video was released for the song before its release date on August 17, 2011.[7]
