Neil Morse Band release video for ‘Your Place In The Sun’ the third single from the upcoming album ‘Innocence & Danger’

NMB are set to release their much-anticipated fourth studio album ‘Innocence & Danger’, on August 27th, 2021. Today, the band are pleased to share the video for ‘Your Place in the Sun‘, the third single taken from the upcoming album. Watch the video below:

“This was another seed that Randy brought in…it originally had a bit of a Steely Dan/Joe Cocker shuffle to it and we then gave it the NMB touch. The end of each chorus has a cool Beatle-esque tag that Bill brought in. Like all my favorite NMB songs, it features 4 of us sharing the lead vocals.”

– Mike Portnoy

With NMB’s previous two releases being concept albums, it’s perhaps remarkable that “Innocence & Danger” is a series of unrelated songs, but drummer Mike Portnoy says “After two sprawling back to back double concept albums in a row, it was refreshing to get back to writing a collection of unrelated individual songs in the vein of our first album.”

Indeed, making this album came easy to the band; while the initial inspiration came particularly from Bill Hubauer (keyboards) and Randy George (bass), the ideas flowed from everybody from there on, as George recalls: “I am excited about the level of collaboration that we achieved on this one. We even went in with a lot of ideas that weren’t necessarily developed, and I think in the end we have something that represents the best of everybody in the band.”

In fact – like its two acclaimed predecessors – “Innocence & Danger” is a double album by inspira-tion, rather than design, as Portnoy explains: “As much as we wanted to try and keep it to a sin-gle album after having just done two double albums, we wrote so much material that we found ourselves with our third double album in a row! That’s pretty prog!”

There is also plenty in “Innocence & Danger” to excite those prog fans who have a thirst for epics, as Neal Morse explains: “There’s one half hour epic and another that’s about 20 minutes long. I really didn’t realize that they were that long when we were recording them, which I guess is great because if a movie is really good, you don’t realize that it’s three hours long! But there are also some shorter songs: some have poppier elements, some are heavier and some have three part acoustic sections. I’m excited about all of it, really.”
