Thal commented:
“It’s been 30 years since releasing the debut ‘Adventures Of Bumblefoot’ on Shrapnel Records, and I haven’t done a fully instrumental album since. Writing during the pandemic, these songs became a soundtrack to my life — from heavy fretless growls to bluesy tributes to legends like Lonnie Johnson. It’s a reflection of the moments that shaped me.
Working on Whom Gods Destroy’s album inspired growling heavy fretless parts like ‘Simon In Space’. Watching a blues documentary inspired ‘Moonshine Hootenanny’. Losing loved ones led to writing ‘Funeral March’. Songs become a soundtrack to our lives.”
The album’s first single, “Simon In Space,” can be found below. Thal added the following about that:
“From an early age, my passions were guitar and astrophysics, cosmology — the song ‘Simon In Space’ merges the two. Simon is my cat, haha; that’s him featured in the artwork.”
