Interview with Greg Hart of Cats in Space – The Making of ‘Time Machine’
In a recent interview for Now Spinning Magazine, Greg Hart of Cats in Space delved into the band’s latest album, Time Machine, set for release on October 25th, 2024. Following the success of Kickstart the Sun, Greg discussed how the band sought to top their previous work, crafting an album filled with epic, theatrical rock, inspired by legends like Queen, ELO, and The Sweet.
The new album isn’t just a nod to nostalgia but carries a message of living in the present, reflected in the title track “Time Machine.” Greg shared that the concept behind the album wasn’t about revisiting the past, but rather celebrating the now, a powerful sentiment that resonates through the soaring choruses and uplifting melodies.
Hart also opened up about the emotional journey behind the song “My Father’s Eyes,” touching on personal loss and the universal theme of seeing the world through the eyes of a parent. This, along with other tracks like “Forever and Ever,” “Crashing Down,” and “Run for Your Life,” showcases the band’s ability to merge introspective lyrics with expansive, cinematic production.
Produced in Brighton’s Salvation Studios, the album features a thunderous drum sound and immersive layers of vocals, giving each track a larger-than-life feel. Fans can also look forward to their upcoming Time Machine tour, with visual presentations and a new stage set designed to make the live experience as epic as their music.
Greg Hart’s candid insights into the making of Time Machine highlight the dedication, creativity, and emotion poured into the project, solidifying Cats in Space as one of the most exciting rock bands today.
