RökFlöte is the 23rd studio album by the British progressive rock band Jethro Tull, released on 21 April 2023.[3][4]
It is a follow-up to The Zealot Gene (2022), and marks the shortest gap between two Jethro Tull albums since Stormwatch (1979) and A (1980).
Background
On 17 November 2022, on Jethro Tull's Facebook page, Ian Anderson announced that they were working on their next studio album and that it would be released in Spring of 2023 stating that Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief had just finished Surround Sound Mix and Alternate Stereo Mixes of the album.[5] The album mostly revolves around the characters, roles, and principal gods in Norse Paganism, as well as "Rock Flute".[3][6][7] The name of the album comes from "Rock Flute" as the original idea was to make an album of mostly instrumental flute music.[6][3] But eventually Ian Anderson stated that he was drawn to the phrase Ragnarök with "rök" meaning destiny, course, or direction. Ian Anderson would then change "Flute" to "Flöte" to "keep with the spelling".[6] The album was released as a double LP, CD, and Blu-ray as well as a deluxe edition featuring bonus demos, an interview with Ian Anderson, and a bonus track.[3]
