WHILE THE WAR BEGAN

In an era where most things are fleeting and today’s heroes are forgotten tomorrow, I Spy is releasing a new album ‘While the War Began’. The idea for this album was hatched in a time when nobody foresaw the onslaught of digital media. Needless to say, it has been brooded upon for a long time. After their first two albums, I Spy dreamt of a new vinyl record. To make these dreams become reality, work had to be done and lots of it!

In an era where most things are fleeting and today’s heroes are forgotten tomorrow, I Spy is releasing a new album ‘While the War Began’. The idea for this album was hatched in a time when nobody foresaw the onslaught of digital media. Needless to say, it has been brooded upon for a long time. After their first two albums, I Spy dreamt of a new vinyl record. To make these dreams become reality, work had to be done and lots of it!

For the better part of the past 7 years, I Spy chipped away at this monumental task. Inspired by prog-rock royalty, the likes of Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull, I Spy found an original voice, tutored by the past, eager for what lies ahead, but strongly rooted in the present. Quirky and autobiographical through text and music, I Spy doesn’t just follow the mainstream pack.
