Fallen Empires by Snow Patrol
Fallen Empires is an album by Snow Patrol, released in 2011. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Called Out In The Dark”, on 14 lists with a best position of #13.
Fallen Empires, Snow Patrol's sixth studio album, arrived in November 2011 with Jacknife Lee producing, and it finds Gary Lightbody's band reaching for something bigger and brighter, all swelling choruses and chants built for arenas, with quieter moments tucked in between.
It was the first album to feature Johnny McDaid, credited as a guest musician and songwriter before he joined for real after the tour, and the last with keyboardist Tom Simpson. Nathan Connolly's guitar and Jonny Quinn's drums keep it all moving, with Paul Wilson still in the line-up, and American singer Lissie adds her voice to six songs, among them the title track and "The Weight of Love". "Called Out in the Dark" is the big, euphoric one, Snow Patrol at their most dancefloor-friendly.
