Scotland's Skerryvore readies 'Tempus' album

Skerryvore's 
upcoming album ‘Tempus’ is due via Cooking Vinyl on April 28. 

The Scottish Celtic/pop octet, which has performed in Redlands, Calif. twice in recent years, has shared first official single ‘Everything You Need.’ Listen HERE. Watch the video HERE. 

It was written by lead singer Alec Dalglish, produced by Dalglish and the group’s bagpiper/whistle player Scott Wood, and mastered by Grammy Award winner Howie Weinberg (U2, Nirvana, PJ Harvey).

Dalglish says, “The song is about how life can throw the unexpected at you but that it’s important to trust that you’ll end up on the right path eventually and that sometimes things happen for reasons that may at first be unknown.”

‘Everything You Need’ is the latest song to preview the ‘Tempus’ album after a new version of the Radio 2 playlisted ‘You & I’ and the instrumental ‘Vancouver Island.’

Of the band's first new studio album in 4 1/2 years, the singer adds, "We wanted to get the production bigger, more fully formed. We wanted to make music on a much bigger scale, to reach a lot more people. But in doing that, we also had to write and record songs that are still what make Skerryvore what we are."

‘Tempus’ is available to pre-order/pre-save HERE, with ‘Everything You Need’, ‘You & I’ and ‘Vancouver Island’ all provided as instant downloads. Physical formats include a signed limited edition transparent violet vinyl with a Japanese OBI wrap, which is exclusive from Assai Records; plus a limited edition transparent blue vinyl with a signed print as well as eight cassettes formats, each of which feature a different band member on the cover, along with their signature. Both of these are available from Skerryvore’s official store.
