New Album Due From Trevor Rabin
Former Yes man to release his first new solo album since 1989 later this year
Billboard reports that Rabin is currently putting the finishing touches to his first new solo album for 22 years, and that you can probably expect it to land in September.
The album is entirely instrumental and Rabin recorded all the instruments himself except for the drums. For percussion he brought in Vinnie Colaiuta, Louis Molino and his son Ryan Rabin of the band Grouplove.
"It's time to let this baby go," he told Billboard. "In every project I have done, there has been (a deadline and a goal). With (my first band) Rabbit, it was a single and then albums; with Yes you had to make a strong, viable album, and with film you've got a schedule to keep. Here, I was able to do what I wanted. It's not necessarily easy on the ears."
"I felt such freedom doing this," Rabin says. "I wasn't restricted in any way. It worked out like a painting. You leave it on the easel and return to it when you're ready."
