"The Believers" is the band’s 8th studio album and consists of 12 tracks, written or co-written by Ricky Ross. The record was produced and mixed by producer and friend Paul Savage (Mogwai, Arab Strap, The Twilight Sad, Wu Lyf) who previously worked with the band on "The Hipsters". Two tracks were mixed by Grammy award winning Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayor).
Ricky Ross says: «The song which starts off the whole album is "The Believers". It’s our statement that belief in the possibilities of hope and a better tomorrow is the side we choose to come down on. We once covered the mighty protest song, "Which side are you on: - a pressing question in today’s political climate. This record is our best answer.
"The Hipsters" was about the band - my love letter to Deacon Blue. Our last album "A New House" was about our country, Scotland. This album is about the journey we all take into the dark. You come to that point in your life where – whatever you’ve been told, whatever the evidence you’ve been presented with - you just don’t know what the answer is.
At which point you can only rely on instincts of your heart. You either take the leap or you don’t. It’s been a journey. I started the tentative writing process in December 2014 and carried it on until May this year. In that time lots of things in the world have changed.»
