Scottish band The Snuts announced a two-week delay in the release of their much awaited debut album ‘W.L’, due to logistical concerns caused by the Covid-19 pandemic as well as Brexit. The band was originally set to release their album W.L on the 19th of March via Parlophone, but will now release the album on the 2nd of April.
In a statement posted on the band’s twitter, they wrote, “To ensure the best possible fan experience for you- us at Parlophone Records, in agreement with The Snuts, have decided to delay the release of The Snuts bed album ‘W.L.’ by two weeks. This (the delay of the release of the album) is to combat potential freight delays caused by Brexit and Covid-19, and guarantee all fans will receive their pre-ordered records on the official release date,”
Speaking of the album, Jack Cochrane, the band’s lead singer in an interview said, “Our debut album ‘W.L.’ is our lifetime work. It’s a collection of milestones and melodies that time stamp a dream we had becoming a reality. It’s a record about being true, loving and resilient.”
The announcement of the delay comes not long after the band’s music video for ‘Somebody Loves You’, for which they worked with the Scottish Refugee Council- an organisation dedicated to supporting refugees in need of protection. The music video demonstrated the stories of the refugees who were helped by the charity. Of ‘Somebody Loves You’, the band said, “The song for us is a universal message of love and compassion and the work of this charity and others like it is something I am particularly inspired by. Three simple words: ‘Somebody Loves You’, spray painted all across my city. It is a simple but powerful reminder”. You can watch the video down below:
