Caravan Unveil New Album “It’s None Of Your Business”

Pioneering progressive rock band Caravan has announced the release of a new album titled “It’s None Of Your Business” (Madfish Music). Release date is October 8, 2021.

“It’s None Of Your Business” is Caravan’s first album since “Paradise Filter” (2013). The album includes nine new songs along with one instrumental track.

The current lineup includes Pye Hastings (guitar, vocals), Geoffrey Richardson (viola, mandolin, guitar), Jan Schelhaas (keyboards) and Mark Walker (drums). Lee Pomeroy (ELO, Rick Wakeman and Take That) has guested as bass player, following the departure of Jim Leverton, while Jimmy Hastings has also guested on flute.

The album was recorded, as restrictions permitted, ‘in the old-fashioned way’ between June 24 and July 4, 2021 at Rimshot Studio, Bredgar near Sittingbourne. “Sitting round in a circle having eye to eye contact, a large sound room was required,” Pye Hastings explained. “I much prefer this method because you can bounce ideas off each other as they occur, and voice encouragement when the whole thing begins to click.

And it is much more rewarding to be able to throw insults at each other in person rather than down a telephone line or via email. This is something we are all very experienced at, believe me!”

It’s None Of Your Business cover and artwork has been created by celebrated illustrator Bob Venables.

Caravan’s music will be celebrated with a mammoth, lavish 37-disc boxed set titled “Who Do You Think We Are?” (Madfish) on August 20, 2021.
