Album Focus: Dr TAOS

Answered by: Adrian Taos

Album title? Dr TAOS

Where did the title of your new album come from? It's eponymous.

How many releases do you have now? Two albums; Dr TAOS and Darkness & Light (under the former name of TAOS), one EP and five singles.

How long did it take to write/record? A couple of years. Not having the luxury of a record company it was self-financed. Juggling work, gigs, recording and line-up changes took time but all feedback received has been extremely positive!

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? The full spectrum - from the incredible amount of insatiable human greed in this world driving war, human and environmental destruction through to simple life pleasures, to the uplifting positivity of those who transcend all boundaries.

What's your favourite song on it? So subjective, either Pick You Up, Coming Home or Haunted Man? Others say Love Strikes or Fight For Your Rights.

Will you do anything differently next time? Hopefully do it quicker? I have another album's worth of stuff on the burner ready to go and I also have some great musicians keen to contribute which is awesome!

When and where is your launch/next gig? 29 Jul, Lazybones Lounge
