On March 28th 2025, Last Night From Glasgow brings you the brand new album from Peter Capaldi

Sweet Illusions was recorded and mixed in 2023/2024 and produced by Dr Robert of The Blow Monkeys. It features 11 sophisticated, beautifully crafted pop songs, including single "Bin Night".

"I was delighted that when I fnished this second album, LNFG chose to come on board. Some of my favourite artists are on the label. But it's also a kind of a homecoming for me. If these songs have a setting, it is probably a city a lot like Glasgow. So it feels right, that that's where the record is coming from. It was a pleasure to work again with Dr Robert who produced the album with his usual wisdom and wit. These musical scribblings are picking up where I left off last time. Some art student, in the rain, wondering where the years went. Feeling the chaos. And sometimes putting the bins out." - Peter Capaldi

Although best known for his extensive career as an actor, Capaldi has been a musician for just as long. In the early 1980s, as a Glasgow School of Art student, he fronted punk group The Dreamboys. The band were part of the city's thriving music scene, but only released a three-track single. Four decades on, he released his debut solo album St. Christopher in 2021.
