about

Have you ever noticed how people these days are so preoccupied, misinformed and distrustful? There seems to be a general apathy towards society, the welfare of others, education and politics...
We are living in "Generation Ostrich."
This seems to be a generation with a general lack of imagination and curiosity as displayed by the narrow cultural experiences and viewpoints that most people appear to have these days, amplified by their digital echo chambers.
This album gives an overview of this phenomenon with references to such symptoms as illiteracy, management-speak, isolation, digital assistants, the Flat Earth "community" and the Dunning-Kruger effect...

This is the first full album released by the Scanlon & Saunders lineup in 13 years and features artwork painted by legendary artist Bob Parks.
