Foy Vance announces new album 'Signs Of Life'

After spending the last few months releasing flurry of new material, Foy Vance has now announced his plans for a new studio album, arriving later this year.

The new full-length 'Signs Of Life' will include the recent shared cuts 'Sapling' and the record's title-track, is being previewed by the new lead single 'Time Stand Still', and will be released on the 10th September via Ed Sheeran's Gingerbread Man Records / Elektra Records.

Speaking about the new release, he said, “I had my first extended period off the road after twenty years of constant touring. And I realised: wow, I drink two bottles of wine and at least a half bottle of vodka a day. I’d start the day with codeine to get myself sorted, and I’d smoke joints throughout the day. So I realised: I have so many incredibly bad habits here. I’m showing all the signs of death, getting ashen, grey, smoking more, drinking more, smoking more…I hit a wall. It was my manager that made me get help. And in those moments, you do wish time would stand still. Can’t I just stop here and sit in this moment before I have to take up that mantle?”
