Long-running Northern Irish trio Ash will release their eighth album, Race the Night, due out September 15 via Fierce Panda. You can check out two songs from it now: the poppy title track, which comes with a horror themed video, and “Like a God,” which is Ash at their most riffy and comes with an AI-assisted video.
“Like A God pushes the rock aspect of the album to its furtherest limits,” says frontman Tim Wheeler. “An ode to sexual apotheosis it revels in a carnal riff played with mantra like repetition before reaching a frenzied climax.” Watch both videos below.
Ash will be on tour in the UK/EU this fall with The Subways. All dates are listed below.
