Snow Patrol's New 2024 Studio Album The Forest Is the Path on 2LP.

Including the new single, “The Beginning,” The Forest Is the Path is an album rooted in reflection, introspection and interrogation. One of its key building blocks, says Gary Lightbody, was the idea of love from a distance, “I haven’t been in a relationship for a very long time, 10 years or more, so love from a distance to me meant the way a relationship sits in your memory from a distance of, say, 10 years. That’s not something I’d previously thought about as a way to write about love. So, it’s like, when you’re in love, you’re standing in the lobby of the Empire State Building. When you’ve broken up with that person, you’re out in the street. You can still see the building, but you’re not in there anymore. And when it’s 10 years later, now you’re standing in Brooklyn looking at the Manhattan skyline.”

Snow Patrol is a Northern Irish-Scottish rock band formed in 1994. The group originally comprised Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar), Mark McClelland (bass, keyboard), Michael Morrison (drums), and later, Jonny Quinn (drums), Nathan Connolly (guitar), Paul Wilson (bass), and Tom Simpson (keyboard).

Snow Patrol's major breakthrough came with their third album, "Final Straw" (2003), featuring the hit single "Run." Their 2006 album, "Eyes Open," included the globally successful single "Chasing Cars," which became iconic after being featured in the TV show "Grey's Anatomy."
