Detroit prog rock titans TILES have issued the fifth and final segment in their ongoing video interview series documenting the creation of their massive Pretending 2 Run double-disc album, released earlier this year through Laser’s Edge.
The members of TILES sat down individually and chatted about all things Pretending 2 Run. Divided into five parts and totaling nearly thirty minutes, the band takes the viewer behind-the-scenes with insights on the album’s tentative beginnings, the concept and story line, artwork and variations, the many special guests involved with the record, and the multi-national recording process. Featuring plenty of studio footage and amusing anecdotes, you’re sure to enjoy the journey as the band crafted an ambitious and expansive double album that’s been hailed as one of the best progressive rock releases of 2016.
