Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls to return to Glasgow next week for sold-out show at O2 Academy in support of his recent album release ‘Be More Kind’
Frank Turner released his seventh solo studio album ‘Be More Kind’ via Xtra Mile Recordings/Polydor during May last year and in support of the release, during January and February 2019, Frank Turner will be playing a string of arena dates around the UK, including shows in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bournemouth and London.

Be More Kind represents a thematic and sonic line in the sand for the 36-year-old. “I wanted to try and get out of my comfort zone and do something different,” says Turner. After the stripped-down, live-sounding previous album Positive Songs…, Turner wanted to try a new approach for the record. With this in mind he recruited producers Austin Jenkins and Joshua Block, formerly of psychedelic-rock Texans White Denim, and Florence And The Machine and Halsey collaborator Charlie Hugall and the idea of recording a more rock-led album with tints of electronic-pop took shape. Be More Kind was made over a period of seven months, giving Turner the opportunity to turn songs on their head, try different versions and shake up the dynamics within his band.
Be More Kind was inspired by a Clive James poem called Leçons Des Ténèbres: “I should have been more kind. It is my fate. To find this out, but find it out too late.” “It devastated me the first time I read it,” he says. “A lot of older, wiser people tend to say things like that, that the things that come out in the wash at the end of a human life are the way you treated the people around you. In the modern world, that’s a lesson that all of us, myself included could do to learn.”
