About this listen

 Hello everyone and we are back for another edition of Interviewing the Legends… I’m your host Ray Shasho. UK Progressive Rock group Solstice announce 8th studio album, Clann due on April 4th, 2025. New single "Firefly" out now! Voted Best Band in Prog magazine’s latest annual Reader's Poll. BIO: Voted Best Band in Prog magazine’s latest annual Reader's Poll, and arriving on an exuberant wave of positivity created by previous albums Sia (2020) and Light Up (2022), both widely acclaimed within the prog community and beyond, Clann completes the most recent phase of Solstice’s 40-plus year career. As band founder, composer, and guitarist (winner of Prog magazine’s most recent Best Guitarist Prog Award) Andy Glass explains, “[Sia] made me realize the potential and by the time we were working on Light Up the whole band had raised its game. I believed then that a trilogy of albums was what it would take to create our best work and track that journey. Clann is the final album in the Sia Trilogy and it’s everything I’d hoped it would be. Let’s hope the universe likes it too.” Clann manages to cover a great deal of musical ground in its nearly 40-minute running time. Solstice will be supporting the release of Clann with a strings of live dates including festival appearances in the UK, Europe and north America. The band’s live work has been fundamental to their growing popularity with a wide audience demographic.
