Starsailor announce brand new album, single & UK headline tour‘LISTEN TO YOUR HEART’ FRIDAY 30th June: Starsailor today also announce a full UK headline tour (see details below). Fans who pre-order All This Life now from the Official Starsailor Store on the band’s website will get exclusive access to the tour presale, and also be able to download ‘Listen To Your Heart’ as an instant grat. Exclusive signed items and special bundles are also available through the store HERE. ‘Listen To Your Heart’ is the stellar opening track from the album. Lead singer & guitarist James Walsh describes it as, “an energetic, emotional song. I think in doing what we do, you have to be emotion and instinct lead. If every decision was sensible, practical and mulled over, we'd never have done anything or got anywhere. It’s not always easy, so you have to keep reminding yourself.” Of the album and recording process, Walsh says; “Recording the album was an intense and rewarding experience and we're excited to get it out there. There's a good mix of the aspects of the band people know and love, and a few changes in direction.” Their fifth studio album – and first since 2009 – All This Life finds Starsailor re-energised and on outstanding form. They played to an ecstatic crowd in a packed Big Top Stage at this year’s Isle Of Wight Festival and debuted a new track from the forthcoming album. Starsailor play British Summer Time at Hyde Park today alongside Phil Collins, Blondie and more, as well as Hope & Glory Festival in Liverpool in August. They set out on a 12 date headline tour of the UK in October – see full tour dates below. Pre-order All This Life now and stream/download ‘Listen To Your Heart’ HERE.
