In 2026, the Errol’s Hot Wax label was excited to announce the release of the album ‘outside’: the first National Park album. Recorded at home between 1997 and 2026, it mixes singles, EPs and previously unreleased tracks. It is intended to be heard as an album – all albums are compilations of tracks over time!
The LP comes with an 8-page booklet with photos, set lists, lyrics and posters from across this time. It will also feature as part of monorail music’s excellent Glasgow School series.
From the monorail music Glasgow School edition notes:
“outside is their belated debut album – epic in places, intimate, gentle, wild. It’s geographic with a small ‘g’ – all about details – that exact vantage point on Great Western Road where everything opens up VU style – ride into the sun, have a glorious moment… it shines light on a beautiful corner of one of the best community-based music scenes in the world. National Park continue to be part of all things Glasgow – their current incarnation is one of their best.”
Mark Neeley, Aquarium Drunkard:
“Of course, from their era or otherwise, no one sounds quite like National Park, and outside is one of the most promising archival/modern hybrid releases you’ll come across this year.”
