SPOCK'S
BEARD Announce April 2 Release of 'Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep'
|
Progressive-rock
legends SPOCK'S
BEARD have returned to
InsideOut Music for the
April 2nd North American release of BRIEF NOCTURNES AND DREAMLESS SLEEP,
their 11th studio album. Label-head Thomas Waber had this to say about the
band's return: "InsideOut
Music and Spock's Beard have a long and successful history. What would we be
as a company without them? Welcome home guys!"
The new
studio album also marks the recording debut of long-time drummer Jimmy
Keegan, and vocalist / guitarist Ted Leonard (Enchant, Thought Chamber). It
also sees the return of one familiar name to the song-writing credits, that
of Neal Morse who has co-written two tracks after having left the band in
2002. Of the collaboration, bass-player Dave Meros says: "Al and Neal are
brothers, of course, and keep in regular contact with each other. What
happened was that Al spoke to Neal and told him he was working on some ideas.
Neal said he'd love to help, so Al went down to Nashville, where his
brother's now living, and they collaborated on the songs."
Co-produced
by Al Morse, Rich Mouser and John Boegehold, BRIEF NOCTURNES AND DREAMLESS SLEEP
is described by Meros as, "quirky, edgy, and reminding us a little bit
of older times in the band, but also taking us further forward." More
information and tour dates to be announced soon!
Line-Up:
Alan Morse - guitar, vocals Dave Meros - bass guitar, vocals, keyboards Ryo Okumoto - keyboards, vocals Jimmy Keegan - drums, vocals Ted Leonard - vocals, guitar
