Ash by Andy Willsher
Ash detail their ninth studio record.
Ash are harking back to some darker times on Give Me Back My World, the lead single from their new album Ad Astra which has been confirmed for release on October 3rd.
“If I told you this song dates back to 2020, you’d hardly need a degree from the School of Marple, Holmes and Poirot to figure out what it’s getting at,” Tim Wheeler said.
And although those sentiments may just be a memory from the standpoint of 2025, the song’s heart still feels relevant. In a time of chaos, disruption and angst there’s still a beautiful world out there and it’s worth fighting for.
Touring for the LP has already been outlined and will begin with two nights at the London Scala after some outdoor UK appearances next month.
