The band released Settlement on 26 February 2021. [11] A new Strawbs album hits record stores [ edit ] Grave New World the Movie is available on a DVD. It's been transfered from tape and looks absolutely horrible. But quality aside, the film isn't very good. From here the album moves from strength to strength, whether it is the psychedelia of "Queen of Dreams", the political humor of the Tull-like "Heavy Disguise", the dramatic epiphany of the title cut, the gorgeous symphonic ballad "Flower and the Young Man", or the angry prog of "Tomorrow". In between, brief interludes like "On Growing Older" and the levity of "Ah Me Ah My" portray the human life as one of contrasts between the intense and the fluffy, with a healthy dollop of nostalgia (after all its Strawbs we're talking about). In the closer, "Journey's End", Cousins utilizes the same vocal tone as in "Benedictus", and Blue weaves a simple yet ornate melody on piano that fades out. Blue Weaver says: “It was really 'magical' working in Cape Town, especially having such great musicians and an engineer who made my job so easy. It was also wonderful to see how the students reacted to our ways of recording live in the studio and answering their questions. I can't wait to see the documentary, especially the "fly on the wall" video recordings that were made during the sessions.“ The Strawbs were formed as the Strawberry Hill Boys in early 1963, made up of Dave Cousins on vocals, guitar and banjo; Tony Hooper on guitar, percussion and vocals; and Arthur Phillips on mandolin and vocals. [1] In June 1964, Phillips left and double bassist "Talking" John Berry took over as the band's third member. [2] Berry was replaced by Ron Chesterman in the autumn of 1966. [3] Early the next summer, singer-songwriter Sandy Denny joined the band to make it a four-piece for the first time, with the quartet recording All Our Own Work that July. [4] Denny had left by the end of the year, with Sonja Kristina taking her place for one show before the group reverted to a trio. [5]Roberts, David (16 November 2015).

something from All Things Must Pass. The horns give it an even more eerie Beatle feeling. The lyrics are really pretty goodgood lyrics. This is a song well performed, with a brass section played by the Robert Kirby Silver Band, which gives The November 2012 tour featured a line-up of Cousins, Lambert, Cronk, Adam Wakeman and Adam Falkner. In February 2014 the band gigged with a line-up of Cousins, Lambert, Cronk, Wakeman and Fernandez. Their album Prognostic was issued in October 2014.

"Singer says acoustic Strawbs". Times Colonist . Retrieved 2 October 2021. Yet another concept album (if memory serves me well: the hope for a better world ensuing the conquest of America), from the previously mainly folk-influenced Strawbs, this is also widely regarded as one of their best, and from their middle period, I must say I quite agree with it being their best - at least their most ambitious and paradoxically I find also their less pretentious, mostly due to the inspired songwriting. Original member Hooper having left by now might just be the strawb (oh well, I just had to try that pun somewhere down the line;-) too far and they will never be the same from this album onwards and just be a shadow of themselves.Beautiful facsimile reissue - the first trifold CD replica - including original booklet and Japanese booklet, based firmly on UK vinyl release. Obi mimics original Japanese release. This is perhaps the first song from the band that could be described as progressive in instrumentation and arrangement, in particular the prominent mellotron brass and strings. As with their previous studio album, 'Grave New World' shows the continue movement from the Strawbs' original

The film, considered ahead of its time as an early music video, is paired with the Strawbs Live in Tokyo 75 DVD. Conclusion: 'Grave New World' represents, in my humble opinion, another major step forward in the musical consistent. This is only a 35 minute album, but, like many others, its brevity works in its favor, as
