JETHRO TULL SHARE NEW MATERIAL

Jethro Tull’s 22nd studio album will land on January 28. Released on InsideOut, The Zealot Gene will be the first set of new material under their name since 2003’s The Jethro Tull Christmas Album.

As frontman Ian Anderson, the new album takes inspiration from the Scriptures: “I think of drawing upon elements of the Bible in the same way as drawing on elements of society as subject material for songs. It’s taking something and turning it into something else. It’s what I do. I just feel that the good – the love, peace and care, particularly in the New Testament – should be shouted from the rooftops. But then the other stuff – vengeance, retaliation, anger and zeal – is not something we should push under the floorboards. It’s our history, good and bad, and we should be able to confront it and move on.”
