NATION SHALL SPEAK UNTO NATION

Edwyn Collins is back with his 10th solo album, Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation and the release of the first track to be taken from the record, ‘Knowledge’.

Out on his own AED Records on Friday 14th March 2025, the 11-track album was recorded at his Clashnarrow Studio in Helmsdale, North East Scotland and was co-produced by Edwyn with Sean Read & Jake Hutton, who all play on the album.

Also featuring James Walbourne on guitar, William Collins on bass, Carwyn Ellis on guitar, Lena Wright and Bianca White on backing vocals and including two co-writes – ‘The Mountains Are My Home’ with Carwyn and ‘Strange Old World’ with William.

‘Knowledge’, the first track to be taken from the album, is accompanied by a video shot between Christmas and New Year in Edwyn’s home village of Helmsdale and directed by Delbert Anthonio Wright, a talented young filmmaker whom Edwyn has known since he was a child.

Talking about the track, Edwyn said:

Knowledge is something I think about. I used to be quite brainy, still am in a way. But knowledge is wisdom, combined with all the things you’ve learned. I think, I hope I’ve learned a lot.
