Progressive Music Award winners Big Big Train returns with its first release since the universally acclaimed English Electric albums.
The CD version is a digipak and includes an eight-page booklet featuring lyrics for the songs and artwork especially commissioned for the EP. The download version will be available from the usual outlets (iTunes, Amazon, etc.) from June 1st.
The EP features three new tracks, "Wassail", "Lost Rivers of London" and "Mudlarks", the last two of which are exclusive to the EP. It also includes a live version of "Master James of St George" - a taster for the "Stone and Steel" DVD which was filmed at Real World Studios in 2014 and is due for release later this year.
The title track is a memorably melodic and anthemic fusion of Folk, Progressive and Rock music, while Lost Rivers Of London and Mudlarks are evocative evolutions of BBT's trademark 'English pastoral' sound. The EP is completed by a powerful performance of Master James of St George (live at Real World studios).
Pre-order for June 1st release.
My goodness, that live version of “Master James of St George” is as good as the studio version. Better in some sections, in fact!
