Scouting For Girls new album and tour

Scouting For Girls return with new album Still Thinking About You, released October 16.

The first single to be taken from the album is Life's Too Short, available to download and stream from today. The million-selling trio have also announced a headline UK tour throughout November and December, including London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on November 30. Tickets available here on general sale 9am Thursday 27 August..

Still Thinking About You is the west London band's first album of new material since 2012 and their first for new label East West. A return to the immaculate indie pop of their triple-platinum debut album but with a fresh, more mature sound, for Still Thinking About You Scouting For Girls took a new approach to writing and recording.

"We tried to make a collection of songs that worked together, which we'd never really done before," says frontman Roy Stride. "And we wanted to make songs that connect truthfully and emotionally. It's about being instinctive, and honest."

Only once they had written and recorded a bunch of songs with which they were happy – including Christmas In The Air (Tonight), a seasonal smash-in-waiting – did they think about which record label might release it. Presented with an album that was completely done and dusted, right down to the artwork, East West jumped at the chance to partner with the band.

"On Still Thinking About You, we've embraced what people love about this band," concludes Stride, "and we've made the ultimate Scouting For Girls record."
