Twin Atlantic Celebrate Scottish Top 5 Success With Separation From The Animals
Notting Hill Music is proud to celebrate Twin Atlantic as their new album, Separation From The Animals, reaches No.5 on the Official Scottish Albums Chart and No.10 on the Official Independent Albums Chart.
Released on 2 October, the band’s eighth studio album brings together the ambition, emotional intensity and unmistakable songwriting that have made Twin Atlantic such a vital part of Scottish music.
This is an album with enormous heart. Across twelve tracks, the band make room for both the explosive choruses that demand to be sung back and the quieter, deeply personal moments that stay with you long after the music stops.
“Don’t Quit It” delivers the scale and energy of Twin Atlantic at full force, while “In Your Eyes” and “The Risk Of Love Is Always Loss” reveal the emotional depth at the centre of the record. There is confidence in allowing these different sides of the band to sit together: powerful, vulnerable and completely committed to the songs.
Shaped by frontman Sam McTrusty’s relocation to Toronto, Separation From The Animals explores change, family and connection. Those experiences give the album a personal foundation, with songwriting that turns intimate feelings into something listeners can make their own.
The record has also earned enthusiastic reviews. Kerrang! awarded it 4/5, praising its emotional openness, while Northern Exposure gave it five stars. Alongside its Scottish Top 5 and Independent Top 10 positions, the album has reached No.24 on the Official Albums Sales Chart and No.23 on the Official Vinyl Albums Chart.
For everyone at Notting Hill Music, this is a moment to celebrate the songs as much as the chart positions. Twin Atlantic have made a record full of character, conviction and feeling - an album that rewards a proper listen from beginning to end.
Huge congratulations to the band and everyone involved in bringing Separation From The Animals to life.
