Twin Atlantic have just unleashed a behemoth of an announcement, catapulting fans into a maelstrom of emotions with the unveiling of their brand-new album, 'Separation From The Animals', set to drop on October 2, 2026, courtesy of Dance To The Radio. Kicking things off in style is the explosive new single, 'In Your Eyes', where frontman Sam McTrusty takes us on a heart-wrenching journey through the complexities of a relationship where one feels perpetually inadequate – a deeply personal exploration that will strike a chord with anyone who's ever felt like they just don't quite fit.
McTrusty has been admirably candid about the deeply personal roots of 'Separation From The Animals', revealing that this album marks his most honest work to date. Having confronted and overcome some of the darkest moments from his formative years, McTrusty has used this new material as an opportunity to process and heal – an unflinching look at his own vulnerabilities that will undoubtedly resonate with fans.
And what a journey it's been! The album was largely crafted in Toronto, where McTrusty relocated with his family, surrounded by the city's pulsating energy. Bassist Ross McNae played a pivotal role as co-producer, ensuring the band's unmistakable sound remained intact while embracing fresh influences – a true testament to their collaborative spirit.
The full tracklist for 'Separation From The Animals' reads like a love letter to the human experience: from the euphoric highs of 'Your, The End', to the unflinching honesty of 'Don't Quit It', and the melancholic beauty of 'The Risk Of Love Is Always Loss'. It's an album that promises to be a deeply moving and emotionally charged collection of songs – one that will undoubtedly leave fans breathless.
But it gets even better! Twin Atlantic have also confirmed a six-date UK headline tour for October 2026, taking in cities like Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, London, Manchester, and their hometown Glasgow. Before that, they'll be joining McFly at various outdoor summer events across the UK – think Piece Hall in Halifax and Queen's Park in Glasgow.
And if you're itching to get your hands on tickets for those October headline shows, mark June 26 down in your diaries: that's when they go on general sale at 10 am. It promises to be an unforgettable experience, with the band performing brand-new material live for the very first time – a chance to witness history in the making.
With their previous album 'Meltdown' still resonating through the airwaves, Twin Atlantic have been teasing a desire to revisit the raw energy of their earlier works like 'Free' and 'Vivarium', while still pushing forward creatively. With this new material, they're about to unleash something truly special – an album that will leave fans in awe, and begging for more.
