Following the launch of the albums title track in January, they are now pleased to reveal the second single The Tipu House. Watch the video, once again directed by Costin Chioreanu, here: https://youtu.be/LnAYn2Ff58E
Ian describes The Tipu House as a song of aspiration in adversity, and comments: Our societies are filled with those who have risen from relative poverty to positions of greatness in the world and their successes are a beacon of hope for the rest of us, even if “greatness” is a relative concept at the end of it all.
Curious Ruminant will be available on several different formats, including a Ltd Deluxe Ultra Clear 180g 2LP + 2CD + Blu-ray Artbook & Ltd Deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook. Both of these feature the main album, alternative stereo mixes & a blu-ray containing Dolby Atmos & 5.1 Surround Sound (once again undertaken by Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief), as well as exclusive interview material.

Ian Anderson had been saying for months following the release of RökFlöte that he would embark on a new project in late 2023. He waited only a few weeks before the first notions began to solidify into some drafted words of intent and in May 2024, some unfinished music recorded earlier with John O’Hara, David Goodier and James Duncan became the starting point for the new songs as they took shape.
Writing the lyrics and melodies for all the newly written material came very quickly once he began in earnest during June and just seemed to slot right in to the musical feel and styles of the earlier recordings.
Anderson’s writing here is often on a more personal level of lyric content than we are used to hearing. Interspersed with his usual observational descriptions are the slightly more heart-on-sleeve moments of soul-baring albeit not on the topics more often paraded by the usual I-me lyric merchants of pop and rock.
Some of the songs are developed from unfinished instrumental demos made some years ago although this does not result in a huge stylistic divide to jump out at the listener. Apart from the signature flute solos and melodies, accordion, mandolin, acoustic and tenor guitars feature on several tracks too, so the subtle backdrop of acoustic and folk rock serves to remind of the Tull heritage of the 70s.
The band consists of:
Ian Anderson Flutes, vocals, acoustic guitar, tenor guitar, mandolin, odds and sods, bits and bobs

Italian prog band Overture will be releasing their new single “Bagliori” on February 21st, 2025 the single is from the upcoming album A mezz’aria sul tempo, due out via Melodic Revolution Records later this year.
About “Bagliori” The Single is a reflection of the emotions its music evoked in us—a deeply personal text penned by our singer on March 14, 2020, just four days after the onset of pandemic confinement. It began as an expression of uncertainty and fear, yet found its conclusion intertwined with melodies infused with soul, written as the world slowly emerged from darkness. The song embodies a journey from turmoil to tranquility—a return to serenity after a harrowing period, much like a stormy sky that, in time, gives way to the radiant sun. It is a testament to the beauty, hope, and resilience of life, conveyed through the comforting words of reassurance to a little girl who was once so afraid.
