Deep time.

    The Bookshop Band wrote a song inspired by Robert Macfarlane's book Underland, called Deep Time, from their 14th studio album, produced by music legend Pete Townshend.

    Their conversation touches on Winter Soltise mistakes, which owls to take underground, working with musicians, including Johnny Flynn, pot-holing mistakes and loosing cellos to caves, recording the song with Pete Townshend, metaphors of the underground and the detail of the dark, Christmas cards from Stanley Donwood and Household Worms, plus an exciting cover reveal of the new album (doesn't work so well on audio).
