COMMENT : Legendary rock guitarist Steve Hackett releases his new studio album 'The Circus And The Nightwhale'
on 16th February 2024, via InsideOut Music. A rite-of-passage concept album with a young character
called Travla at the centre of it, 'The Circus And The Nightwhale's' 13 tracks have an autobiographical
angle for the musician who says about his 30th solo release: "e;I love this album. It says the things
I've been wanting to say for a very long time."e;

'The Circus And The Nightwhale' is Steve's first new music in over two years. It follows the beautiful
acoustic LP 'Under A Mediterranean Sky' from January 2021 - which rose to No 2 in the UK Classical chart
- and, in September of that year, his metallic masterpiece Surrender Of Silence, which hit the UK Top 40.
His 2023 live album, 'Foxtrot At Fifty + Hackett Highlights: Live in Brighton', reached No 2 in the Rock
& Metal Chart. Steve's new LP promises ballads, blues, blistering progressive rock... and healthy measures
of theatre and fantasia.

Recorded between tours in 2022 and 2023 at Siren studio in the UK - with guest parts beamed in from Sweden,
Austria, the US, Azerbaijan and Denmark, the line-up for 'The Circus And The Nightwhale' includes some familiar
faces alongside Steve on electric and acoustic guitars, 12-string, mandolin, harmonica, percussion, bass and
vocals. Roger King (keyboards, programming and orchestral arrangements), Rob Townsend (sax), Jonas Reingold
(bass), Nad Sylvan (vocals), Craig Blundell (drums) and Amanda Lehmann on vocals. Nick D'Virgilio and Hugo
Degenhardt return as guests on the drumstool, engineer extraordinaire Benedict Fenner appears on keyboards
and Malik Mansurov is back with the tar. Finally, Steve's brother John Hackett is present once more on flute.

Summing up 'The Circus And The Nightwhale', Steve says: "e;It's a lovely journey that starts dirty, scratchy and
smoky and becomes heavenly and divine. How can you resist it?"e;
