Hailing from Faversham in Kent, folk-rock band Green Diesel first emerged in 2009 and take their inspiration from the depths of English folk lore and legend and the classic folk rock sound of their predecessors Fairport Convention and The Albion Band. Blending violin, mandolin, dulcimer and accordion with electric guitars and drums, Green Diesel's sound is born from a love of traditional English music and a desire to bring it to a modern audience.

The first to feature new drummer Paul Dadswell this record features a major development of the band's sound with progressive and psychedelic elements coming to the forefront, alongside the band's signature take on folk song and folklore. Folk in technicolor, echoing both 1867 and 1967.
