Hot-on-the-heels of announcing the release of their eleventh studio album, progressive rockers Spock’s Beard have revealed UK tour dates for May.
The new studio album 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 way back 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 ‘is quirky, edgy, (and) reminding us a little bit of older times in the band, but also taking us further forward.’
