Torridon are back with a bang as they launch their powerful new album Polaroid.
The folk-rock favourites dropped the record hot on the heels of a sell-out show at the Kingsmills Hotel in Inverness.
That packed-out performance on Saturday 22nd March reminded fans why Torridon remain one of Scotland’s most electric live acts.
Known for fusing heartfelt storytelling with thunderous energy, Torridon have poured their soul into this latest release.
Polaroid delivers ten tracks of soaring anthems and raw emotion, pulling listeners into moments captured like snapshots in time.
The band’s trademark energy is front and centre, but there’s a deeper edge here that speaks of lived experiences and personal reflections.
Frontmen Kenny Smith and Michael Macmillan have shaped this record through their own lens, writing songs inspired by real life and honest emotions.
Lead single I Wanna Know lit the way last year, shooting straight to number one on the World iTunes chart and giving fans a taste of what was to come.
Now the full album promises to be a game-changer, showcasing a band unafraid to evolve while staying true to their roots.
Kenny Smith describes Polaroid as their most personal work to date and says they are overwhelmed by the love shown at Kingsmills.
The energy in that room was electric, and the band left the stage knowing something special had just happened.
That connection with their audience has always been at the heart of what Torridon do.
It’s what has built their reputation as one of the most beloved acts in Scotland’s modern folk-rock scene.
And with Polaroid, they’ve raised the bar again.
Torridon’s fanbase stretches far beyond the Highlands, and this album is set to pull in new listeners from all corners.
The record is now available on all major streaming platforms, ready for repeat plays and singalongs.
But Torridon aren’t stopping there.
Their 2025 calendar is already bursting at the seams with festival dates including Belladrum, MacMoray, Heartland, The Gathering and Aden.
There’s plenty more still to be announced, and it’s clear the Polaroid era is only just beginning.
Fans can keep track of the band’s journey through their social media channels and official website.
This album isn’t just a collection of songs — it’s a portrait of a band in full flight.
And it’s one worth framing.
