Godspeed (Glasvegas album)

Godspeed is the fourth studio album by Scottish rock band Glasvegas. The album was released across all digital platforms on 2 April 2021 through Go Wow Records, with the CD version of the album released on 20 August 2021 and the vinyl LP version to follow in January 2022. Godspeed is the band's first new studio album in eight years, following 2013's Later...When the TV Turns to Static and the departure of drummer Jonna Löfgren. The album was written, recorded, engineered and produced by lead singer James Allan.

The album cover is from a photo taken in the Lower East Side of New York City by James Allan's friend, Angela McCluskey. The boy in the photo is blind and is being healed by the man in the wheelchair with his father behind him. The musical theme of the album "takes place" across the course of one evening.
