Description
Vorn Colgan, Charley Davenport and Thomas Liggett talk to us about creating their new album “The Aeronaut” and their playing live experience. Vorn Colgan has been releasing extraordinary and unique. popular music since 1999. He is one of the great unsung legends of Wellington Music. His work is so diverse and wonderful it is hard to classify but it covers genres such as alternative, art/noise, classical, electronic, folk, rock, and prog. Vorn morphing them into his own unique musical vision. In 2019 Vorn Colgan was hit by a terminal cancer diagnosis. However, 2023 saw him release his surprisingly non-posthumous hit The Late Album, Vorn’s demonstrated inability to die left him with maybe the world's most wonderful problem: what to record for his upcoming 10th album? The answer is The Aeronaut, a 60ish minute meditation on Wellington, the universe, and everything, hewn from purest regionally sourced prog rock and presented in a single baffling and hopefully pleasant serving.
