Having teased the album with a handful of singles ahead of the release, which included the super-charged, widescreen anthemia of Race The Night, the muscular riffing of Like A God, the brisk power pop of Usual Places and the “ode to one of those nights”, as Tim Wheeler puts it, of ‘Crashed Out Wasted’, the band’s first album in five years is finally released.
Winning consistent support across BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2 and Absolute Radio, these new songs bring with them what lead singer and guitarist Tim Wheeler describes as “the sound of the band reveling in the sheer joy of being a band after being separated by time and distance through the insanity of the early 2020s.”
The band also share one more video from the album for side A’s sepia-tinged love story ‘Oslo (feat. Démira)’.

Ash will be playing a week-long run of instore / outstore live shows as Race The Night is released. The shows will combine Q&As, acoustic sets and signings, as well as a special show at Pryzm Kingston, at which the band will play tracks from the new album fully electric for the first time. Full details are below and tickets are available here.
