If You Wait

If You Wait is the debut album by English electronic music band London Grammar. It was released on 9 September 2013 on Metal & Dust Records, while being distributed by Warner/Chappell and Columbia Records. Three singles have been released from the album—"Metal & Dust", "Wasting My Young Years" and "Strong". The album's lyrics are mainly based upon vocalist Hannah Reid's personal life; in particular her troublesome teenage years. The Guardian suggested that this was "the first quarter-life-crisis album." In December 2012, London Grammar posted the song 'Hey Now' onto Soundcloud. The song has garnered just under 700,000 plays to date.
