King of a Land ( Green Vinyl)

Brand new sealed album pressed in green vinyl housed in a gatefold cover.

More than a decade in the making, its 12 new songs are full of extraordinary surprises. Unique and transportive, Yusuf’s music, words and melodies paint a vivid picture of a world which embraces the lost lands of truisms and stainless youth, and brings it into touching distance. His poetical storytelling invites the listener on a journey towards the gates of an alternative universe to that which we presently inhabit - where happy endings can possibly happen.

From the gloriously unexpected hard-rock intensity of Pagan Run to the Tchaikovsky-inspired orchestration on How Good It Feels, the delicate acoustic balladry of He Is True through to the driving Phil Spector-goes-gospel vibe of Highness, the Travelling Wilburys-styled rolling Americana groove of All Nights, All Days, and the ornate, atmospheric Son Of Mary, King of a Land is an epic body of work.

The album’s artwork was created by Peter H Reynolds, the award-winning children’s illustrator. As well as the cover art, Peter has created illustrations for each song portraying the album’s lyrical themes that feature in the record’s accompanying booklet.
