about

On March 10th 2020, Anubis released the ‘Homeless’ album. A foreboding concept album that dealt with how the excesses and missteps of the early 21st century seemed to point to some sort of reckoning. Part climate crisis, rise of nationalism through ignorance, media hegemony and hubris, part economic inequality, part feeling rudderless under increasingly slogan-wielding yet ineffectual leaders and the gradual erosion of truth, empathy and decency in society. Somewhere toward the end of the album’s mixing, Australia caught fire, and ‘Homeless’, with its rather bleak conceit, turned out to grow regrettably ever more prophetic.

By the time the album dropped, Anubis had worked up our most ambitious show to date, building on the momentum of our successful 2018 trip to Europe with new technology aimed at making the new album the centrepiece of the show and taking the band’s performance further than it had previously gone. ‘Homeless’ gained great reviews, charting at No. 4 in the Australian independent charts, earning itself a feature in Prog Magazine and a release show at Sydney’s Oxford Art factory before our first tour of Japan with Europe to follow shortly after.

Within 13 days, we were all stuck at home licking our wounds. Covid had struck Sydney, grounding the band and like many bands; our plans for the next two years went up in smoke like much of Australia had only two months earlier.

This album chronicles the sole performance the of the Homeless set - representing the lost Anubis tour of 2020/2021. The show we had planned on bringing to Japan and then back to Europe. With the likelihood of ‘Homeless’ being performed in full again fairly remote; it may just stand as the sole performance of the suite as it was meant to be heard. Anubis performed two sets to socially distanced crowds in Katoomba - a town in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney which had seen the impact of the Australian bushfires far too closely. The performances took place in early 2021, sandwiched between the initial wave of Covid and the gruelling second wave and subsequent three month lockdown that followed.

The show itself was a warm and successful temporary return to the stage, showing the power, strength and musical precision that Anubis had worked up by the Homeless era.

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

It's all a matter of taste. I love this album. I love it's serenity, the beautiful instrumentation, orchestration and the great production. Ambient is not my cup of tea either, but this album crosses the borders of ambient music and prog. In other words: an awesome album! Martin Melis
