Agents of Mercy is a new project from The Flower Kings/Transatlantic/Kaipa musoman Roine Stolt and eccentric singer Nad Sylvan (Unifaun)
Their common love of late ’60s and early ’70s prog is all over this album - Bowie - Lennon - Gabriel - Mercury - ELO - Supertramp - Yes.
Their new album took off in a vocally elaborated retro symphonic direction after initially being planned as an acoustic album by Roine Stolt - yes - music seems to find it’s own ways - we can’t wrestle that universe.

Not a concept album really - but it all start off in a hazy dreamland somewhere the twilight zone - the dreamy theme linger on - some
bordering to the nightmares of worried warrior souls while other tell sunny stories of hope, joy and compassion.

A few favourite drummers tracked drums for the 12 tracks, Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson,XTC,Stickmen etc ) Zoltan Csörsz (TFK,Karmakanic) and Jimmy Keegan (Santana,Kenny Loggins,Spocks Beard Live ) the eccentric Biggo Zelfries (Walrus Farm) did most of the piano,violin and analogue keyboards
and TFK bassist Jonas Reingold add some fretless bass spice too.
First edition is a LTD digipac with a full 77 minutes of music and a 20 pages beautiful book.

Sir Silas Toball (www.silastoball.com) of Goblindesign did the mysterious artwork for us and the album is mixed by agent Stolt at Cosmic Lodge as usual.
