| Dangerous Veils | 03 Sep 2024 | 00:50:14 | |
A stranger in a strange land, in a strange room, with strange customs. And maybe some strange dancing. Eventually it becomes too much and he nopes outta there. The end. 19th studio album - Roots to Branches Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| I Don't Want To Be Me | 02 Jul 2024 | 00:52:16 | |
Ian's been on the rock 'n' roll road for 21 years at this point. He's definitively middle-aged. He's got kids. Had a salmon farm. Does he regret it at all? Or is he just darn tired?

| Astronomy | 18 Oct 2022 | 00:52:06 | |
The first half of the song comes across as rather innocuous, maybe a new narrator altogether, just looking up at the sky from his observatory…albeit naked. But then we get a little bit more detail - we hear mention of secrets and *you*, shame and consequences. And don’t forget the Big Bang. Never forget the Big Bang… 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Radio Free Moscow | 11 Oct 2022 | 00:47:39 | |
Can’t confuse this one this week. No romance here. Did our protagonist make his decision after Saboteur and decide to be just a spy, his love for Mother England winning out? Or maybe he just had a job that really needed taking care of, and then he’ll return to his blonde bombshell when he’s done? Either way, spies! 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Saboteur | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:59:17 | |
There may be an over-arching story forming for this album! Is this our same narrator, and his same love interest? Seems like our spy is having a hard time deciding whom he loves more: his country or his newly discovered love. Whatever decision he comes to, he’ll be a saboteur to the other. No one ever said being a super sexy awesome spy was filled with easy decisions. 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Later, That Same Evening | 27 Sep 2022 | 00:52:05 | |
True to form for this album, we get a song that, at first glance, seems like one of the two: romance or spy thriller. But, also true to the genre of spy thriller, they are not mutually exclusive. Our sexy spy and his sexy damsel shared a sexy moment, it seems. 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| European Legacy | 20 Sep 2022 | 01:01:06 | |
This one kinda smacks of Under Wraps, doesn’t it? More love in an (exotic?) land. But also possibly spy related? The She/Her could just be Mother England… is it just a love song for his country?! Can we expect that from Ian? 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Under Wraps #1 & #2 | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:50:17 | |
Is this spy thriller fodder? Or is it just that our narrator is having something of a clandestine fling? Or both? Either way, this dude seems pretty smitten, being all wrapped up and stuff. 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Lap of Luxury | 06 Sep 2022 | 00:52:00 | |
Living a life of luxury isn’t an easy thing. What do you do when the money runs out?! When the good life comes crashing down, you have to become a pleb again, and then you’re stuck watching jealously as all the other rich folk enjoy that life that you once held so dear Ian’s really playing to his audience with this one… 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

| Down at the End of Your Road | 30 Aug 2022 | 00:52:49 | |
Finally, nothing commentary related here. Just a fun, dark character song from Ian. He's wearing his ultimate slime ball costume, not even the sexual deviant kind, just an overall villain. And the song's a banger to boot! 14th studio album - The Broadsword and the Beast Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| I Am Your Gun | 23 Aug 2022 | 00:49:12 | |
We've been seeing a fair amount of Ian's absurd song as commentary lately. And frankly, I'm liking it! This one, however, hits regrettably close to home. It's great, don't get us wrong. But it just puts things into perspective. 14th studio album - The Broadsword and the Beast Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Rhythm in Gold | 16 Aug 2022 | 00:49:47 | |
Another character song, with our dear singer/narrator as a bit of a creeper. He puts on the facade of absurdity to shine the light of realization on society. A regular Shakespearean clown, this guy. 14th studio album - The Broadsword and the Beast Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Overhang | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:48:08 | |
We've all had that night, once or twice. We have a couple of drinky-poos. The night slips away. We wake up in someone else's pants, a duck duct taped to your hand. A construction crew is pounding away inside your skull, and you've somehow misplaced your bones. If you're Ian (or Nik or Omen, for that matter), this might happen after a particularly strong kombucha. 14th studio album - The Broadsword and the Beast Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

| Too Many Too | 02 Aug 2022 | 00:48:28 | |
A repetitive tune, nowhere near the top of our list, we gotta be honest. BUT - we do take apart the lyrics and actually come away with a new understanding and appreciation for it.

| Mayhem Maybe | 26 Jul 2022 | 00:49:12 | |
A song for the hooligans of the world. Tricksters and fae folk and shenaniganeers.

| Seal Driver / Cheerio | 12 Jul 2022 | 00:57:33 | |
A super specific, but actually super sweet, song about telling your loved one how much you appreciate them and how important they are in your life. Or maybe a pickup line based on that idea...

This poor lady is just bored at work! She can't help but fantasize about a better, more exciting life. A life that isn't 9 to 5, doesn't have the drone of a typewriter to squash her dreams.

The first song to feature friend o' the pod - JDA! Ian's fatherhood is showing here, and it's a bit endearing (don't tell him!) It's also so very 80s to write a song about not getting batteries with the toy you bought your kid for Christmas, isn't it? Where are the batteries for my synth?!

A little less super specific this time around. We sort of hearken back to the general commentary of Stormwatch. What is your goal in life?

| Man of God | 01 Mar 2022 | 00:46:46 | |
We know Ian's not Christian. But is he a man of God? I'm inclined to think so... If this song is any indicator, he certainly repeats it enough! But, is this just another Ian character? Another facade he dons? That's a tough one. Charities to help Ukraine - NPR 12th studio album - Stormwatch Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

A supernatural lamentation. Ian warns us of a potential ghostly fate, unless we change the way we live.
