Dan Tompkins returned to TesseracT in time to appear on third album Polaris, released in 2015. The record they’d made in his absence – Altered State, featuring vocalist Ashe O’Hara – had marked a significant change in their musical output. But as Tompkins told Prog, the change suited him, and sat well with how he’d evolved his own approach to creativity.
“A TesseracT fan is somebody who wants to be challenged when they listen to the music,” says the band’s singer Dan Tompkins. Given all the changes they’ve been through, that’s probably for the best.
