ASH - Race The Night - Transparent Violet Vinyl

Race The Night, the eighth studio album from the iconic band Ash, is now available through Fierce Panda, one of their earliest label homes. With an illustrious career spanning 29 years, 18 hit singles, seven studio albums, and countless tour dates, Ash returns with an electrifying record that feels like a reunion with old friends and a call to embrace the present.

The lead single, also titled "Race The Night," sets the tone for the album with its super-charged and widescreen anthemic sound. The track is a perfect introduction to a record brimming with infectious melodies. Lead vocalist and guitarist Tim Wheeler delivers poignant lyrics, singing, "Before the shadows let us go, and it’s too late, to race the night." The song captures the band's exhilaration, as they surge forward, fuelled by the heat of obsession, and seize the moment.

Wheeler reflects on the album, stating, "Race the Night is the sound of the band revelling in the sheer joy of being a band after being separated by time and distance through the insanity of the early 2020s. Lyrically it's all about seizing the crossroads moments in life with both hands. Take every chance as if it could be your last." Race The Night is a testament to Ash's enduring spirit and their ability to craft music that resonates with both long time fans and new audiences alike.
