Tapping into their LCD Soundsystem fandom, and acknowledging the influence of Depeche Mode, Twin Atlantic’s charged-up fourth LP, Power, is eight punchy tracks and two compelling interludes. No fat, no fuss, all fire, made by a band plugging in, turning it up and taking charge. The message: here are their new songs, take them – and the band – as you find them. After ten years, Twin Atlantic got their Glasgow studio fully up-and-running. They gigged for thrills, and used the money to fund the album they wanted to make. They also took charge of production.

Frontman Sam McTrusty explains: “We just got into a room and started creating. The studio as its own instrument reached a new level – we created nothing outside those walls and it became a physical embodiment of the album itself. Power is our own example that there’s always a way forward when you are faced with limitations and red lights. It’s reignited our ambition and drive for what we can achieve. Hearing these songs, that’s what I feel and hear: Power, And that’s what the last two years have made us feel as a band: totally empowered.”

The Guardian described lead single “Novocaine” as a “huge breakneck synth-rock anthem that harks back to their country’s Big Music.”
