A NEW INTERNATIONAL

“Rare and marvellous...one of Scotland’s finest, most underrated bands” – The Scotsman

From Glasgow to the world, A New International bring you new Scottish romanticism fuelled by a little bit of this and a whole lot of that. They are on a quest for a new pop music.

With three critically-lauded cult albums, hit theatre show The Dark Carnival and a string of Radio Scotland singles of the week behind them, singer/songwriter Biff describes ANI’s ethos below –

“I always loved the idea of a band that didn’t sound like a band: a band that sounded like, let’s say, a movie or a circus or a funeral or a riot; anything but another dreary band“.

For one night only, to celebrate the release of their new single (title still under wraps at time of writing), A New International present a rare full-band set featuring back catalogue classics and a sneaky peek at new, never-before-seen songs from their soon-to-be-released fourth album inspired by espionage, epic voyages, tango and trombones.

And if you are still unsure, here a couple more quotes that we heartily agree with …

“Jacques Brel meets Ennio Morricone in Barcelona, 1937, lyrics by George Orwell… dangerous, strange and heartbreakingly beautiful” – Ricky Ross  

“A New International make music with style and panache... stunningly beautiful... unlike anything else” -Louder Than War
