Snow Patrol 'Attacked By Bats' While Recording New Album

Snow Patrol have revealed that they have begun recording their new studio album in Ireland.

In a message on the band’s website, frontman Gary Lightbody said they were enjoying being back in the studio but had been suffering from a bat problem.

“They swoop just outside the bay windows of the living room and we watch and ohh and ahh,” he wrote.

The band have just completed the first week of recording, which has once again seen them team up with Jacknife Lee.

Speaking about the album, Lightbody said that “some loveliness is happening” in the studiop and that “it’s very exciting to hear songs I’ve been demoing over the last year or more spring to noise covered life.”

Currently there is no release schedule for the as-yet-untitled album, which will be the follow-up to 2006's 'Eyes Open'.
