Why did you call your new album Night Lilies?
The smell of Night Lilies is for me an experience which takes my life round in a full circle from now to when I was seventeen and back to now. Anything - a sound, a gesture, a smell can cause a 'draught of rememberance', and it may be important that we don't ignore or overlook the unusual moments in our lives

Were you involved with the cover art? If so what was your inspiration?
I'm always totally involved with the cover art - this cover - Tomb of Böcklin by Ferdinand Keller I imagine to be on 'The Isle Of Dead' by Arnold Böcklin. The painting is a homage to Böcklin. I love the mystery and intrigue and the divine sense of dread.
