2016, BELIEVERS is the third part of a trilogy begun with THE HIPSTERS in 2012 and continued with A NEW HOUSE in 2014. As such it continues a songwriting trajectory that is both rich, idiosyncratic and sharply honed - and inevitably coloured by a sense of urgency to make sense of recent events, both personal and global. First single ,,The Believers" is a song reflecting, in part, on the scenes of despair among refugees attempting to cross the Mediterranean and elsewhere - but nevertheless cast as an anthem of hope. 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. Deacon Blue's first album RAINTOWN was released in 1987 to massive critical acclaim and went on to achieve a million sales. The album was quickly followed up with their number one, double platinum album WHEN THE WORLD KNOWS YOUR NAME. Since then the band have sold over 7 million albums worldwide.
