Later...When the TV Turns to Static is the third studio album by Scottish rock band Glasvegas.

It received generally favourable reviews from critics but stalled at number 41 on the UK Albums Charts.

Later...When the TV Turns to Static was released in three formats: standard CD, heavyweight white-coloured vinyl LP, and deluxe almanac edition containing the CD, extensive booklet, and a bonus DVD featuring a full-length 'stripped' version of the album and exclusive live performances.

They continued to perform and develop songs from the album throughout 2012 with "Later...When the TV Turns to Static", "I'd Rather Be Dead (Than Be with You)" and "All I Want Is My Baby" being among the first to be premiered.

In an interview with Louder Than War prior to the album's release, bass player Paul Donoghue told journalist Katie Clare how "[lead singer] James [Allan] really has a full idea how this album should be, he even co-directed the first video, it was his vision from start to finish, he worked really hard and it gave everything a real continuity.

"[8] Explaining the meaning behind the title track, Allan said, "I guess it's a song that I was writing, kind of about the place between what has just happened, a chapter that has just passed, and moving into the next chapter, the new dawn, that in-between place, where the unknown lies ahead, the mystery lies ahead, and that can be quite scary.

[10] Fiona Shepard at The Scotsman praised Allan's songwriting and singled out the songs "Choices" and "I'd Rather Be Dead (Than Be with You)" as "most impressive".

"I'd Rather Be Dead (Than Be with You)" was released as the lead single from the album on 25 March 2013 as a digital download, which featured an acoustic version of "All I Want Is My Baby".
