The Snuts have released new single ‘PTS’, taken from their forthcoming album, Joy In Short Moments.
The Scottish band’s fourth album arrives on October 23rd via Happy Artist Records in partnership with Virgin Music Group.
The new single was created following Scotland’s World Cup qualification win over Denmark, and grew into a meditation on self-belief, generational trauma and forgiveness.
Frontman, Jack Cochrane commented on the new single: “It was the penultimate track we wrote for the record. I remember stumbling our way through it the morning after Scotland beat Denmark to reach the World Cup: pure elation, a shooting star of collective celebration. It’s incredible the emotions something as trivial as football can spark.
“We started digging into why belief in yourself is so often absent in young people where we’re from, and the song became an outlet to explore things I feel get left at the bottom of the ‘important to talk about’ pile: growing up without a positive role model, generational trauma.
“‘PTS’ is a remedy to melancholy, an end to past-life pain. It’s a song for widespread forgiveness, of others and of yourself.”
