Todd Mosby releases new album Aerial Views

Guitarist Todd Mosby has released a new recording titled Aerial Views.

The album (pictured) is the third in a series of concept albums highlighting natural elements, following Eagle Mountain, a tribute to earth, and Open Waters, about the seas.

It includes 12 original compositions by Mosby, drawing on his experiences riding in and later flying a plane owned by his father, a professional pilot. "We spent a lot of time in the air, feeling a special freedom and independence whenever we took to the sky," he said in a news release. "As I got older, that freedom evolved into an ever expanding musical and spiritual journey."

With production by Will Ackerman and Tom Eaton, Aerial Views features Mosby on guitar and electric Imrat guitar, an 18-stringed sitar-guitar hybrid that he helped design, plus a supporting cast of musicians including violinist Charlie Bisharat, bassist Tony Levin, drummer Jerry Marotta, bassist Michael Manring, percussionist Jeff Haynes, multi-instrumentalist Premik Tubbs, and pianist and vocalist Lola Kristine.

Aerial Views is available now via Bandcamp, on Mosby's website, and on major digital services including iTunes and Spotify. Mosby also has produced a short "making of" video to promote the release, which can be seen here.
