Curious Ruminant

Intricate flute-led prog and pastoral folk rock. A late-career meditation on myth and mortality, anchored by a massive sixteen-minute centerpiece.

It's Tull doing what they do best: complex flute-rock that sounds like it was recorded in a very expensive barn.

A sophisticated and earthy meditation on time, myth, and the natural world.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition into the folk-dance section midway through the title track where the flute takes a jagged, percussive lead.

The sudden, heavy organ swell that anchors the twelve-minute mark of the epic Drink From the Same Well.

The vulnerable, dry vocal delivery on the closing track Interim Sleep that feels like a whispered confidence.
