Escalate: 'To increase rapidly, to make something more serious or greater. A statement of intent, a reflection of everything around us'. So goes the title, and the inherent energy - the interior, burning fire - of the fiercely thrilling debut album from Glasgow's VLURE. In April 2025, the five piece - Hamish Hutcheson, Alex Pearson, Conor Goldie. Niall Goldie and Carlo Kriekaard - released their first new music in over a year, in the form of 'Better Days', the first taste of their long awaited debut album. Co-produced by Conor and Manni Dee (Daniel Avery & HAAi) and with features from Bobby Gillespie, PSweatpants and Gaïa, 'Escalate' is a 13 track collection that is the proudly, loudly, avowedly now sound of VLURE's hometown. The thrills and spills of Glasgow - its daylight and its nightlife and its afterparties - provide the pulse and heartbeat of 'Escalate'.
