Big Big Train have announced they will release a new EP, Scop, as a companion to their upcoming reissue of their 2002 album Bard, on March 21, the same day Bard is reissued for the very first time through English Electric Recordings.
The new EP takes its title from the old English word for Bard, and will feature five demos from the Bard recording sessions plus The Sundial. This latter song was written and demoed in 2001 but has been newly recorded by three members of the band’s current line-up - Alberto Bravin (lead vocals), Gregory Spawton (guitars, keyboards, bass) and Nick D’Virgilio (drums) - and mixed by the band's longstanding engineer Rob Aubrey.
