Deacon Blue further their huge creative and commercial renaissance with the release of their brand new studio album, ‘Believers’ on September 30 on earMUSIC.
‘Believers’ is the third part of a trilogy begun with ‘The Hipsters’ in 2012 and continued with ‘A New House’ in 2014. As such it continues a songwriting trajectory that is rich, idiosyncratic and sharply honed - and inevitably coloured by a sense of urgency to make sense of recent events, both personal and global.
First single ‘The Believers’ is a song reflecting, in part, on the scenes of despair among refugees attempting to cross the Mediterranean and elsewhere - but nevertheless cast as an anthem of hope.
Ricky Ross says: “The song which starts off the whole album is ‘The Believers’. It’s our statement that belief in the possibilities of hope and a better tomorrow is the side we choose to come down on. We once covered the mighty protest song, ‘Which side are you on -’ a pressing question in today’s political climate. This record is our best answer’.”
Expanding to talk about the album, Ross continues; “You try to write something that would be good enough if it turned out to be the last thing you did. When you’re young you think ‘There’s plenty more records I can do.’ It’s not so urgent somehow. There are still plenty more records that I want to make. But I might not get time to do them all. That’s a thought that certainly pulls the songwriting into focus.”
‘The Believers’ is the band’s 8th studio album and consists of 12 tracks, written or co-written by Ricky Ross. The record was produced and mixed by producer and friend Paul Savage (Mogwai, Arab Strap, The Twilight Sad, Wu Lyf) who previously worked with the band on ‘The Hipsters’. Two tracks were mixed by Grammy award winning Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayor).
Ricky Ross says of the album trilogy now completed with the new record: “‘The Hipsters’ was about the band - my love letter to Deacon Blue. Our last album ‘A New House’ was about our country, Scotland. This album is about the journey we all take into the dark. You come to that point in your life where - whatever you’ve been told, whatever the evidence you’ve been presented with - you just don’t know what the answer is. At which point you can only rely on instincts of your heart. You either take the leap or you don’t.
It’s been a journey. I started the tentative writing process in December 2014 and carried it on until May this year. In that time lots of things in the world have changed.”

Probably one of the most underrated bands in our generation. Why did they not get much air time?
I’ve been listening to them for over 30 years now, what a amazing people they are! This song should be on the charts!
Truly awesome sound , I've been following for over 25 years , they are timeless !
The woman in this video is my dance teacher Christie and she is amazing!
Lovely... 🌹 Say Hi her, Hi for U
I have loved Deacon Blue since Raintown. Their new album is terrific. So good to see a band stick together and lose the integrity of their music and song writing.
Pierre absolutely fabulous band love the new album, saw them in Liverpool, faaabbbuuulooouus xxxx
The are the perfect example of love. God bless the both of you. What harmony!
I used to work with the lad in this video. He's a top bloke, so surreal seeing someone you personally know in stuff like this!

A good solid modern day Pop song with a great video reflecting the pressures of work and how they can affect a person and those at home...Thanks for sharing will add to The Best of 2016 & Pop Rock Playlists on my music blog (World United Music)

George Doris stick to 1d
Nice song.Problem is!.Deacon blue are way too talented to try this modern stuff.They shouldnt have to.In todays world of music its mundane and banal.Beyonce.rihanna etc...crap.the funemental heart of deacon blue was beautiful songs full of heart and melody.Something that is so lacking in these days of monotines music.Deacon blue...my favourite band x
bit keane sounding ?
Nothing wrong with that James!
this girl is super hot.
Yeah nah much prefer this is not a love song early public image I’m movin on to overdrive this is not a love song the grrl in deacon blue reminds me of a grrl that caught my eye in pyrmont Sydney I was on my balcony. And she was walking by yeah you caught my eyes woohoo 🥳
It's a brilliantly written pop song, it's catchy and the vocals are beautiful. The production needs to get rid of the bells and cymbals when it cranks up to the chorus (too SKY Sports and World Cup music) they're too far forward and I'd flatten/soften it all out in the style of Frou Frou or Frasier Chorus (it does do this when he says "you have to walk a long way repeatedly). Its a shame the video is all wrong, it's like an advert for a pay day loan, it needed to be atmospheric, not reality with Instagram hashtag filters and camera phone layers.
nice song. the video is nice but feels like it was done by someone who had an idea for a video and just stuck it onto the first song they were asked to do. they don't fit well together imo.
really? I think it's a great combination 😋
maybe a "Love Song", but certainly weren't love kisses! (pecks on cheek & neck...., REALLY??)
Great song from a great group. Unfortunately, terrible video.
I think this is the only song on the new Album that sounds like the real Deacon Blue !! Sorry Ricky, Lorraine so disappointing . Regards George Doris
George Doris OK George
Pretentious crap.
Angus MacLellan yes ur
Angus MacLellan stick to 1d twat
don't remember this one 😰 love Deacon Blue, music's never gets this sweet these days!!!
