Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their first collection of entirely original material in nearly two decades, Ian Anderson resurrected the legendary progressive folk moniker for this conceptual release. Each track draws thematic inspiration from a different Biblical verse, blending their classic acoustic guitar and flute interplay with modern reflections on extreme political and social polarization.
