Album
The Second Brightest Star is a companion album to Folklore and Grimspound and features seven new songs (about 40 minutes) which “explore landscapes, rivers and meeting places and take the listener on voyages of discovery across the world and to the stars.” In addition, the record will come with a bonus selection of 30 minutes of music (named ‘Grimlore’) where songs from Folklore and Grimspound are presented in extended format. Tracklist: The Second Brightest Star Haymaking Skylon London Stone The Passing Widow The Leaden Stour Terra Australis Incognita Grimlore Brooklands Sequence (i) On The Racing Line (ii) Brooklands London Plane Sequence (i) Turner On The Thames (ii) London Plane The Gentlemen’s Reprise The Second Brightest Star is the last album in a cycle of releases which started back in 2009 with The Underfall Yard album. Our writing over this period has focused on the English landscape, the people that work on the land and their folklore stories. The band will be moving on to different landscapes and subjects in future years as we play more shows outside of England. But we had a few more stories left to tell and wanted to bring them together on The Second Brightest Star - Big Big Train User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
