Broken Records Scotland's Broken Records will release their second studio album - the follow up to 2009's 'Until The Earth Begins To Part' - on 25th October.

Entitled 'Let Me Come Home', the record apparently started out as "a series of sketches and song fragments in frontman Jamie Sutherland's kitchen, later taking form in demo sessions at an old distillery grain store in the Highlands."

It was recorded and produced by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Delgados, Belle & Sebastian) at his COD Studio in Glasgow, with artwork by Vaughan Oliver at v23.

Speaking about the inspiration behind it all, Jamie Sutherland says: "An idea started to form about the direction of the new record based on several films and albums that I became gradually obsessed with at that time. Watching the widescreen emptiness of films Badlands, Rumble Fish and East of Eden, as well as records such as Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, Nick Cave's Murder Ballads, Calexico's Feast of Wire and REM's early back catalogue all became a strong influence on the direction of the new songs. It was also during this time that the lyrical theme of the record started to take shape, thinking about what was going on around me in the form of fears and concerns over making relationships work, and a need for security."

The six-piece will be previewing songs from 'Let Me Come Home' at the following shows:

AUGUST
28 Edge Festival @ Liquid Room, Edinburgh

SEPTEMBER
23 Arthur's Day, Dublin
28 Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, London
