“GLA is the code for our airport and the runway that has been our gateway to all the inspiring places we have travelled to around the world, and the same stretch of tarmac that has always brought us back home again.”

The album follows Great Divide which was released back in August 2014, and will see them journey around the UK in October on tour. The band haven’t toured the UK since May 2015 and took some time out last year to complete the album they never thought they’d write. After Great Divide, the band “Walked away from the band as if we were finished.” says Sam McTrusty in an interview for DIY.  “It was like Twin Atlantic didn’t exist anymore.” The band spent time with their families and were getting used to live a more stable life off the road when they decided to put down their regular instruments and play around more, writing as and when they felt like it.

The band have reached number one in the UK rock chart and Scottish chart with their album Great Divide. Before GLA went on sale, the band released three songs – No Sleep, Ex El and The Chaser. The video for ‘The Chaser’ was released on August 19.
