Prog is proud to present an exclusive interview clip in which Ian Anderson discusses his new album Homo Erraticus – view it below.
It’s taken from an in-depth discussion with Prog editor Jerry Ewing to mark the title’s release on April 14 via Anderson’s imprint Calliandra Records and Kscope. The full interview will be included on the special edition of the album.
Homo Erraticus is the third album to feature Gerald Bostock, who first appeared in 1972′s Jethro Tull release Thick As A Brick, then returned in Anderson’s Thick As A Brick 2 in 2012.
In the clip below he explains how the “political hot potato” of migration inspired Homo Erraticus, observing: “As Gerald Bostock says, ‘We’re all from somewhere else – get over it.’”
Anderson kicks off an extensive UK tour on April 28. His solo band will deliver the album in full along with a selection of Jethro Tull classics, updated with video and theatrics. Tickets are on sale now, see jethrotull.com.
