Know very little about this guy but he always has an impressive guest list on his albums and his next one due in April is no different. I've heard maybe one or two tracks on Prog Magazine's promo CD's in the past but nothing made me 'pull the trigger'.
Music Premiere: Steve Thorne – English Christmas
Comments 2 Martin Kielty at 03:00pm December 20 2013
Prog is proud to premiere Steve Thorne’s seasonal track – hear English Christmas below.
It’s taken from his upcoming album Island Of The Imbeciles. And, as the title suggests, he’s pulling no punches with his message.
Thorne tells Prog: “This is probably the darkest, bitterest and most truthful Christmas song ever written. Ebenezer Scrooge would have bought ten copies! But the irony is, I really like Christmas.”
He says of Island Of The Imbeciles, which features guests including Tony Levin and Nick D’Virgilio: “It’s been terrific fun to make. I’m really, really pleased with the songwriting and playing. I can’t wait for people to hear it, which is usually a good sign.”
The record is due for launch in early April. Thorne has said it’ll be his last solo release, because he wants to stop on a high rather than continue and record music for its own sake. He’ll continue working with other musicians.
