After their last album Eyes Open became the soundtrack to many a teenager's ascension into adulthood, the first taste of Snow Patrol's new album has been leaked in the form of 'Take Back the City'. The record, entitled A Hundred Million Suns, will be out at the end of October.

But in a major coup for Snow Patrol fans who double as techophiles, the Irish quintet will coincide the album's release with a custom application for iPhones and iPod Touches. The Guardian in the UK reports that "the Snow Patrol application will be available to download, offering any fan with an Apple touch-screen access to artwork, lyrics and behind-the-scenes photographs." Once upon a time, a cassette was reward enough.

It's some fairly low-grade, watery-sounding audio, but here's 'Take Back the City'.
