Steve Hackett - The Circus And The Nightwhale (LP Vinyl)
Steve Hackett - The Circus And The Nightwhale
Legendary Rock Guitarist's 30th Solo Album on 180g Vinyl LP!
Ballads, Blues & Blistering Prog Rock + Healthy Measures of Theatre & Fantasia!
Steve Hackett celebrates over 50 years of music with his 2024 conceptual studio album, The Circus And The Nightwhale. A rite-of-passage concept album with a young character called Travla at the centre of it, The Circus And The Nightwhale's 13 tracks have an autobiographical angle for the musician who says about his 30th solo release: "I love this album. It says the things I've been wanting to say for a very long time."
Recorded between tours in 2022 and 2023 at Siren studio in the UK – with guest parts beamed in from Sweden, Austria, the US, Azerbaijan and Denmark, the line-up for The Circus And The Nightwhale includes some familiar faces alongside Steve on electric and acoustic guitars, 12-string, mandolin, harmonica, percussion, bass and vocals. Roger King (keyboards, programming and orchestral arrangements), Rob Townsend (sax), Jonas Reingold (bass), Nad Sylvan (vocals), Craig Blundell (drums) and Amanda Lehmann on vocals. Nick D'Virgilio and Hugo Degenhardt return as guests on the drumstool, engineer extraordinaire Benedict Fenner appears on keyboards and Malik Mansurov is back with the tar. Finally, Steve's brother John Hackett is present once more on flute.
