Catfish Rising

A surging, hard-rocking return to form that reconnects with bluesy roots and acoustic mandolin textures. Energetic, earthy, and unmistakably British.

It's the one where they finally put down the synths and remembered how to play the blues with a flute.

A grounded, energetic resurgence that balances road-weary blues with playful folk-rock storytelling.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The gritty, blues-inflected slide guitar that anchors the opening of Rocks on the Road.

The sudden, frantic flute trills that punctuate the rhythmic shifts in Thinking Round Corners.

The atmospheric, seven-minute slow burn of White Innocence as it builds into a cinematic climax.
