As they prepare to play to 14,000 fans during their upcoming ‘Homeward Bound’ headline tour, Tide Lines now announce that their fourth studio album, ‘Glasgow Love Story’, will be released on April 25th, 2025 via their own Tide Lines Music label. Pre-Order here.The record will add to the band’s continuing ascent, with highlights so far including Official Chart success for 2023’s ‘An Ocean Full of Islands’ (#13 in the UK, #1 in Scotland and #2 on Independent Albums), extensive Radio 2 support, and three consecutive sold-out nights at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom.
Vocalist / guitarist Robert Robertson says, “We’re absolutely delighted to be announcing our fourth album, ‘Glasgow Love Story’. We started the band in Glasgow back in 2016 and, since then, this amazing city has been a constant influence on our music and our lives – not to mention playing host to some of our favourite ever gigs. So I guess it was only a matter of time before our adopted hometown inspired a Tide Lines album!”
Glasgow is very close to the band’s heart, and the city’s rich musical and cultural landscape has always been a key element of their identity. From their first casual meet up in a West End bar in 2016, to subsequent rehearsals in a Finnieston studio, right through to their recent induction into the Barrowland Hall of Fame, Glasgow has remained a central influence in the Tide Lines story.
This record speaks of the city in many of its guises: the deep, red glow when the sun sets upon the sandstone tenements, and the rain-soaked pavements glistening underneath the streetlights. Its subjects are the humble Glasgow people with a variety of stories to tell: from a warm, summer’s night of friendship in a leafy park; to a grey, windswept river imagining ghosts of Clyde built ships from a bygone industrial heyday.
