Ian Anderson has announced the release of his new studio album Homo Erraticus (2014). The record will be out on 14th April on the artist’s own label imprint Calliandra Records in conjunction with Kscope, to coincide with Anderson’s 2014 UK tour.
Homo Erraticus (2014) it’s based on an unpublished manuscript by amateur historian Ernest T. Parritt (1865-1928). In Homo Erraticus (2014) Parritt examines key events of British history with a string of prophecies stretching to the current day and the future; visions of past lives caused by the delirium of malaria generate the characters through whose eyes the stories are told, including a nomadic Neolithic settler, an iron Age blacksmith, a Christian monk, a turnpike innkeeper and even Prince Albert.
The album release will be followed by an extensive UK tour, where Homo Erraticus (2014) will be performed in its entirety followed by a selection of Tull classics updated with video and theatrics. If you want to know more about the tour and about the tickets, CLICK HERE.
