Beans wrote the collection of songs and brought them to Lewis and Kitty, who then rewrote the music behind the lyrics and produced the record in their studio, \u201cDurham Sound Studios\u201d, changing the sound from acoustic folk to the wonderful piece of work we present to you today.<\/p>\n<p>The intention of the project is probably best illustrated by the opening number, &#8220;World Gone Crazy\u201d, a fast paced, classic rock \u2019n\u2019 roll tune with lyrics that claim: \u201cOn the brink of extinction in the age of anxiety everywhere you look is another catastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not one computer was used in the recording, mixing or mastering of the album, which is oddly fitting for \u201cSaying Thank You to Robots\u201d; a ska-tinged song about the rise of artificial intelligence. Elsewhere on the album, you\u2019ll find a blues number about the wars of the future, \u201cRich vs Poor\u201d, and a Kinks style jam, \u201cExtinction No.6\u201d, about the worries faced by new parents leaving a wrecked planet for their children.<\/p>\n<p>The album has an overarching theme, but it\u2019s by no means a concept album; it&#8217;s simply a case of what\u2019s been on Beans on Toast\u2019s mind this year. There\u2019s even a song about the day he lost Martin his faithful guitar and, of course, a love song about his muse and wife, Lizzy Bee.<\/p>\n<p>The album closer, \u201cOn &amp; On\u201d, takes us back to a more familiar Beans sound &#8211; he&#8217;s back on the acoustic guitar and back searching for hope with an optimistic smile. Yes, these are troubled times we live in, so it\u2019s more important now than ever to celebrate what we already know to be good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLife is ridiculous, it is hilarious, it can be dangerous and sometimes even tedious. But it\u2019s resilient and it is beautiful and I believe in it. Long may it continue\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Talking about the album Beans said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLewis and Kitty are musical geniuses and I\u2019ve never known anything quite like it. I was singing into a microphone that Lewis had built himself, that was plugged into a whole array of vintage equipment he\u2019d salvaged and saved over the years, which then all went into a mixing desk he\u2019d built out of an old piano lid. On top of knowing how to build this equipment, he knows how to use it all and after presenting him with my songs, he had a clear idea of how he wanted them to sound. This sound was brought to life by Kitty, who played guitar (built by Lewis, obviously), bass, drums, percussion and harmonica throughout the record. One of the most soulful musicians I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Every note she plays oozes with feeling. She makes it look so easy!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMy last album was about the world on my doorstep, mainly focusing on the birth of my daughter and my family life. For this record, I turned my attention back out towards to world, and it didn\u2019t look good. The 6th mass extinction of life on earth, divisive politics, the rise of Artificial Intelligence. It was all looking pretty bleak to be honest, and that\u2019s what I started writing about. If the songs were gonna have this apocalyptic outlook, I figured it would be better to present them in a happy way, and came up with the idea of making a rock \u2019n\u2019 roll record. Soon as the idea struck I knew who to ask. I\u2019ve been a fan of Kitty Daisy &amp; Lewis for a long time and first met them back in my Nambucca days when they were kids. Fate came into play and I bumped into Lewis on a train last year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSo much Love has gone into this record. I\u2019m proud of it and hope you folks enjoy it before everything goes to shit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>The album will be released on 1st December on Beans\u2019 own imprint BOT Music and will be his 11th studio album.<\/p>\n<p>Around the new release, Beans will also be embarking on a mammoth <strong>25 date tour <\/strong>across the nation throughout the Winter.
