Description
Following their recent signing announcement with White Star Records and the release of lead single 'Citizen and State', London-based prog rock intellectuals Quantum Pig have released further details of their upcoming debut album. Off the back of their recently-released lead single 'Citizen and State' on 23rd November, the Carl Sagan, Queen and Husker Du-inspired duo are pleased to confirm the February 1st 2019 release of 'Songs of Industry and Sunshine'. Formed by Ian Faragher and futurist and author Mark Stevenson, the band manages to pen an unashamed love-letter to prog whilst seeking to break new ground, from punk to pop, brass band, electronica and classic rock. Initially conceived as side-project, blurred beginnings soon sharpened to reveal a clear path towards greater things - and a signing with White Star Records. Quantum Pig's musical powerhouse is Ian Faragher. Composer, acoustician and multi-instrumentalist, Faragher has played an active part in the UK experimental music scene for over ten years with his 'Sonic  Imperfections' concert series and radio show (Resonance FM). Outside of Quantum Pig he performs and releases experimental music with 'The Broca Ensemble' (Champion Version Records), the 'Tonal Liberation Army' and 'The Drone Choir'. Resident philosopher Mark Stevenson has two overlapping lives, one as a writer and musician, the other  as a 'reluctant futurist'. As one of the world's most respected thinkers on the interplay of technology and  society, he spends a large part of his life exploring the cutting edge. He's also the author of two best-selling books. -
