Ian
Anderson had been saying for months following the release of RokFlote
that he would embark on a new project in late 2023. He waited only a few
weeks before the first notions began to solidify into some drafted
words of intent and in May 2024, some unfinished music recorded earlier
with John O’Hara, David Goodier and James Duncan became the starting
point for the new songs as they took shape.
Writing the lyrics and
melodies for all the newly written material came very quickly once he
began in earnest during June and just seemed to slot right in to the
musical feel and styles of the earlier recordings.
Anderson’s writing
here is often on a more personal level of lyric content than we are
used to hearing. Interspersed with his usual observational descriptions
are the slightly more heart-on-sleeve moments of soul-baring – albeit
not on the topics more often paraded by the usual I-me lyric merchants
of pop and rock.
Some of the songs are developed from unfinished
instrumental demos made some years ago although this does not result in a
huge stylistic divide to jump out at the listener. Apart from the
signature flute solos and melodies, accordion, mandolin, acoustic and
tenor guitars feature on several tracks too, so the subtle backdrop of
acoustic and folk rock serves to remind of the Tull heritage of the 70s.
