Having unveiled their brand new single 'Honest' last Friday, Kodaline announce their new album 'Coming Up For Air', due for release February 9th, 2015.

Kodaline, one of the big success stories of the last two years, return with their epic new album 'Coming Up For Air' on RCA Victor on Feb 9th.

Drawing inspiration from producers Jacknife Lee (Snow Patrol, R.E.M), Jim Eliot (Ellie Goulding) and 'A Perfect World' producer Steve Harris, Kodaline saw fully-fledged songs flow out of them much quicker than they ever anticipated.

"If you'd told us at the start of the summer that we'd be finished our album by autumn we wouldn't have believed you," says singer Steve Garrigan. "It happened so quickly. A lot of the songs were done live in the studio, on the spot."

As on Kodaline's debut 'In A Perfect World', Steve wrote the bulk of the lyrics for the album with guitarist Mark, bassist Jason and drummer Vinny pitching in on all the music. In first single 'Honest' they have a gamechanger. Featuring a stadium sized chorus of which Coldplay would be proud, the single highlights the ambition on 'Coming Up For Air'.

Other highlights from the album include the anthemic 'The One', the driving percussion of 'Ready', the acoustic and string laden 'Better' and the rousing album closer 'Love Will Set You Free'.

In 'Coming Up For Air' Kodaline have managed to record an album that is not only a sonic step on, but one which at its core retains the ability to connect instantly with an audience, to share the emotions in their songs and to pull the listener in to their world.
