Jethro Tull recently announced the release of their 23rd studio album, RökFlöte, on April 21 via Inside Out Music.
Following 2022’s The Zealot Gene, the band's first album in two decades, Ian Anderson and the band are returning with a 12-track record based on the characters and roles of some of the principle gods of the old Norse paganism, and at the same time exploring the 'RökFlöte’ - rock flute - which Jethro Tull has made iconic.
Today, the band are pleased to launch the second single from the album, "The Navigators". Appearing as a special single edit version, mixed by Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief), you can watch the video (created by Christian Rios) below.
