Produced by ROBERT PLANT himself, this marks PLANT's debut at Nonesuch Records and features 11 new recordings, 9 of which are original compositions by PLANT and his band The Sensational Space Shifters.
The Sensational Space Shifters consist of Justin Adams: Bendir, Djembe, guitars, Tehardant, background vocals; John Baggott: keyboards, loops, Moog bass, piano, Tabal, background vocals; Juldeh Camara: Kologo, Riti, Fulani singing; Billy Fuller: bass, drum programming, Omnichord, double bass; Dave Smith: drums; and Liam “Skin” Tyson: banjo, guitar, background vocals.
The first single from the album, "Rainbow", has been available as a digital single since the end of June and can be downloaded at robertplant.com with an additional limited edition print. ROBERT PLANT and The Sensational Space Shifters are currently on a major world tour and will be performing live after their celebrated shows in Cologne and Hamburg in June at the 48th Montreux Jazz Festival (July 8), in Zurich (July 9), as well as in Berlin (July 16) and Dresden (July 17).

“lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar” is the direct successor to PLANT's album Band Of Joy from 2010, which followed the Grammy-winning collaboration with Alison Krauss, Raising Sand, from 2007. Justin Adams and John Baggott also played on the album Dreamland (2002), while all other musicians of the Sensational Space Shifters (except Camara and Smith) have been on board since the 2005 album Mighty Rearranger. The current lineup, which is also on tour, recorded lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar right before the world tour at the Helium Studios in Wiltshire and the Real World Studios in Bath. The single Rainbow was recorded in the Contino Rooms in London. Except for three songs, the album was mixed by Tchad Blake.
“It’s a truly festive album, powerful, bold, African – trance meets LedZep,” says PLANT about the album. “The entire drive of my life as a singer is determined by good camaraderie. I am very happy to be able to work with The Sensational Space Shifters. They come from very interesting areas of contemporary music... I have been on the road for quite a while and wonder if I still have something to say? Do I still have a song in me? In my heart? I look at life and what comes my way. This journey is accompanied by expectations, disappointments, happiness, questions, and close relationships,” says PLANT. “... and now I am able to express my feelings with melodies, with energy, and with trance that merge into a kaleidoscope of sounds, colors, and friendship.”
