A four-year labour of love, the album reworks songs written over the last four years into a musical chronicle of the First World War.
Singer-songwriter Saul has already released two critically acclaimed solo albums, as well as instrumental music under the Northwoods name.Saul said: “Bad Elephant’s artist-centric approach has helped me produce an album that while challenging to make, has also been very enjoyable, and has pushed my musical boundaries into new and exciting areas and soundscapes.”
BEM’s Head of PR James Turner: “I’ve been a massive fan of Saul’s ever since I heard hisdebut album Daybreak, and I am excited that we at BEM are working with him on thisexciting new project”.
The Great War is Saul’s debut release on Bad Elephant Music and will be released on CD and digitally on November 11th, with pre-orders available from mid-October.
As Saul explains, “this has given me a really exciting opportunity, allowing me to revisit music I had already written, and write a number of new songs exploring ideas and events that I would not have been able to within the original parameters of the project”
