Big Big Train are an English progressive rock band formed in Bournemouth in 1990. "The Second Brightest Star" is the last album in a cycle of releases which started back in 2009 with "The Underfall Yard" album. The band writing over this period has focused on the English landscape, the people that work on the land and their folklore stories. The band will be moving on to different landscapes and subjects in future years as the band play more shows outside of England. But the band had a few more stories left to tell and wanted to bring them together on "The Second Brightest Star".
The Second Brightest Star is a companion album to the Folklore (2016) and Grimspound (2017) releases. The Second Brightest Star features over 40 minutes of new songs and instrumentals alongside music from the Folklore and Grimspound albums presented in extended formats. With the exception of Brooklands and London Plane which were recorded at 24/48 and have therefore been up-sampled for this release to 24/96, all audio is at studio master 24/96 hi-resolution. In addition, the record will come with a bonus selection of 30 minutes of music (named ‘Grimlore’) where songs from Folklore and Grimspound are presented in extended format. This package includes a complimentary PDF of the album booklet including lyrics and the stories behind the songs.
