Andy Jackson trails 73 Days At Sea

Andy Jackson has streamed a sampler for upcoming album 73 Days At Sea.

The Grammy-winning Pink Floyd engineer and co-producer will released the title via Esoteric Antenna on January 29.

It features guest appearances from former Van der Graaf Generator man David Jackson and Panic Room’s Anne-Marie Helder.

Andy Jackson says of the follow-up to 2014’s Signal To Noise: “I spent some time travelling back and forth to the sea – the edge of the world – while I was working on projects for others. I noticed in myself a sense of nostalgia each time I went there, as if revisiting a childhood home. I have never lived near the sea and I’ve scarcely been to this particular place before. Still, the false nostalgia persisted.

“I resolved that I would write a suite of songs concerning the sea. It seems to occupy a pivotal place in our subconscious. Eventually it became clear that the entire album was to be the ‘sea suite’, albeit that direct mention was sometimes fleeting.”

73 Days At Sea is available for pre-order now, in a two-disc set that includes a 5.1 surround mix.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
