The Great Unravelling.

he 2026 album from longstanding folk troubadour Beans on Toast is his nineteenth studio album, The Great Unravelling. It was recorded in January on the banks of the Huon River in Tasmania. The wild beauty of the landscape seeped into the songs, giving the record a dreamy, otherworldly feel and a sound unlike anything else in his ever-growing back catalogue.
 
The album was played entirely on electric guitar, accompanied by slide guitar and backing vocals from incredible up-and-coming songwriter Nuala. Together, they create a spacious and atmospheric backdrop for a collection of songs that ponder our place in the universe, from distant galaxies to school drop-offs and the everyday moments in between. As ever with Beans on Toast, The Great Unravelling is honest and hopeful, finding wonder in the world around us while trying to make some sense of the strange times we're living through.
