“…they’re following in the footsteps of other Scottish rock crossovers with heavy sounds but inviting hooks-aided by singer Ross Leighton’s ability

to soar over a busy chorus.” – WIRED

August 24th, 2018 – Scotland – Rock band Fatherson have premiered a brand new video for “Charm School,” the latest single from the band’s forthcoming album Sum Of All You Parts. Fans can watch “Charm School” now exclusively on Billboard:http://bit.ly/2Llk77n. Sum Of All Your Parts, Fatherson’s third full-length album,drops on September 14^th and is available for pre-order at smarturl.it/SumOfAllYourParts.

“The video for Charm School is part of a series of music videos and a live session that we shot in one location to accompany our new album ‘Sum of all Your Parts’. We felt it was important to create a cohesive world that encompassed everything we wanted to say,” shares Fatherson. “The video for Charm School bridges the gap between the lyrical content of the song and visually linking this space to the album’s artwork, particularly the last shot.”

They continue: “When we recorded the album with New York-based producer Claudius Mittendorfer (Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol) we wanted to make an album that sounded live. We took inspiration from fans telling us how much energy atmosphere there is at our live shows – so tracked the bones of the album live and in track order, all in one studio. This really coloured the album, and is great to be visually represented by the videos also all taking place in one space.”

Fatherson have traditionally been a word of mouth band. Attend any of their shows and you will find a room echo with lyrics being sung back en masse by adoring fans. The devotion of their fans saw the last album jump straight in at No. 2 in the Scottish album charts as well as performing strongly in the U.K. Other highlights include packing a 12,000 person tent at T in the Park and playing with Kings of Leon in Vienna.

The band have established themselves as a potent live force, having sold out Glasgow’s Barrowlands as well as London’s Scala on their previous run of dates. Together with blistering shows and a rabid fanbase Fatherson operate in a distinctly Scottish plane of sentimentally – it is no coincidence they have previously toured with the likes of Frightened Rabbit, Biffy Clyro and Idlewild.

The band recently announced their new album Sum Of All Your Parts with the release of “Making Waves” – a song indicative of what to expect from the next FathersonLP. According to Ross Leighton (guitar/vocals), the song “defined how the album would sound” as well as being a “heart on your sleeve slacker tune with a tonne of groove.” The single does mark a change of direction for the band – the rousing and anthemic choruses remain but there is a newfound edge best summed up in the stunning video for “Making Waves.”

Marc Strain (bass) goes further when contemplating the shift in band’s sound: “As a band we’re always going to have “rocky” songs but Rock music can be very formulaic and boring. We didn’t want this record to just be a carbon copy of Open Book or I Am An Island. Making Waves was the song that made us rethink our process and start to get really excited about this new album.”
