Glasgow five-piece VLURE – AKA Hamish Hutcheson, Alex Pearson, Conor Goldie, Niall Goldie and Carlo Kriekaard – have announced their debut album, Escalate, alongside the release of new track, "Feels Like Heaven".

New single "Feels Like Heaven" arrives with its accompanying video, directed by Paris Seawell. A nod to early rave era sampling, big trance and techno sound design, it sits at the heart of the album and perfectly summarises the themes which run throughout Escalate. “It’s about hope, love and life” says frontman and lyricist Hamish “I hope it has a different meaning for each listener; for me it’s about finding the right person at the right time. Someone that makes you feel whole and makes life better, even on the days where nothing is going your way.”

VLURE have made a body of work which, at its core is an album about coming of age, friendship and finding oneself. “It’s for Glasgow. It’s for you, and your mates. It’s for every mad night and every moment when time stood still. Hold it close. Let it escalate.”

Escalate also features recently released comeback single, "Better Days".

Tracklist:

  1. I Want It Euphoric
  2. Something Real (feat. Psweatpants)
  3. Heartbeat
  4. Between Dreams
  5. Feels Like Heaven
  6. Better Days
  7. Let It Escalate
