BEYOND NOW - OUT NOW
14th October 2016

Beyond Now by Donny McCaslin DONNY McCASLIN who as you know collaborated with DAVID BOWIE on his ★ album has released a brand new album today entitled: BEYOND NOW.

Beyond Now features the same group of musicians that defined Blackstar's aesthetic - keyboardist Jason Lindner, bassist Tim Lefebvre and Mark Guiliana.

Donny says: "There was a lot of that energy bouncing off of all of us when we were recording Blackstar and I wanted to make sure that that was all present in this new record.

"The title track 'Beyond Now' is directly inspired by a song of David's that we recorded during the Blackstar sessions, but that didn't make the final record. All the originals were written last summer - before he passed away, but while the Blackstar recordings were still really fresh. [The sessions concluded in Spring 2015.] Songs of his were just kind of running through my unconscious. That was part of it."

Also featured on the album are two Bowie cover versions: 'A Small Plot Of Land' (David Bowie/Brian Eno/Reeves Gabrels/Mike Garson/Erdal Kizilcay/Sterling Campbell) and 'Warszawa' (David Bowie/Brian Eno).

The album tracklisting runs as follows:

       1. Shake Loose.
       2. A Small Plot Of Land.
       3. Beyond Now.
       4. Coelacanth 1.
       5. Bright Abyss.
       6. Faceplant.
       7. Warszawa.
       8. Glory.
       9 Remain.

Featured in the liner notes is a wonderful written tribute to David Bowie and everyone who loved him.

The album is available to purchase NOW. Check out the official trailer for the album below..
