Ulf Backstrøm 2022-01-07

The latest album from Big Big Train, Welcome To The Planet is getting close to the release date of Jan 28th, 2022. The album was announced back in October of last year, only months after the group released they critically acclaimed album Common Ground, and before the untimely, tragic passing of Big Big Train’s singer David Longdon on November 20th, 2021.

As with Common Grounds, Welcome To The Planet sees Big Big Train retain their progressive roots but also take influence from all spheres of music. The four recent singles Proper Jack Froster, Made Of Sunshine The Connection Plan and Lantern are also included along with keyboard player Carly Bryant’s first Big Big Train writing credit and lead vocal on the captivating title track. The album is completed by the delicate acoustic Capitoline Venus, the beautiful Oak And Stone and a pair of dazzling instrumentals, A Room With No Ceiling and Bats In The Belfry, written by guitarist/keyboardist Rikard Sjöblom and drummer Nick D’Virgilio respectively.

A tribute video to David Longdon was recently released for the track Capitoline Venus,
