Following on from “Paradise,” a politically charged look at life in their hometown of Aberdeen, and 2022’s soaring follow up “Goodbye To Misery,” Cold Years return in 2024 with their most triumphant record yet, ‘ A Different Life,' an album manages to make sense of a world that’s lost most of it.
‘A Different Life ’ features singles “Roll With It”, a song that boasts one of the most infectious choruses rock music has heard in recent years, “Radio”, a joyously melancholy track about leaving the small town you grew up in, “Choke” an incisive invective about the current political state of the UK plus choice album cuts incl. “Sick”, an epic power ballad that focuses on Gordon’s troubles with insomnia and the negative thoughts about himself that arise from it, “Low” a moody rocker that gives any Green Day song on American Idiot a run for its money & more.
“This is the first time I’ve ever come out of a studio able to listen to the tracks, where—and I say this 100% with conviction—we went in and did everything we wanted to do and more,” says Gordon. “I’ve always come out feeling like we could have done something better or different. But this album changed the game for all of us as a band. We tried to make things a little different. That happened naturally, and it’s the most musical experience I’ve ever had”
Recorded at The Barber Shop Studios, New Jersey by producer Brett Romnes ( Hot Mulligan, Boston Manor, Heart Attack Man, Brand New ) & mastered by Rogue Planet Mastering ( Against The Current, A Day To Remember, The Bronx ), ‘A Different Life’ is packed with songs that are both intensely personal and universally relatable.
