Knee Deep In Nostalgia

Friendship, peers, society and community all coalesce on 'Knee Deep in Nostalgia', the new album from Beans on Toast, released onhis 40th birthday, produced by pal and peer, Frank Turner.‘Knee Deep In Nostalgia’ is released as Beans hits his 40th birthday. As with reaching any milestone, comes a time of looking back and taking stock of where you are now and just how you got there. Regardless of how this year panned out in the end, 2020 would always have been a year of reflection for Beans and it's something that played anintegral part in the making of his latest album. It’s no secret that Beans on Toast and Frank Turner go way back. In fact, Frank has even said that it was Beans that nudged him towards picking up the acoustic guitar back while hanging out at the North London boozerNambucca. Since then their friendship has remained solid and Beans has happily surfed on the coattails of Frank’s rise to Folk/Rock stardom; opening for him on many a tour, festival stages, arena shows and even (more recently) socially-distanced shows. For what will be Beans’ 12th studio record, an album that revels in friendship, family and the fondest of memories; given such shared history, Frank was a natural choice to produce it. Like a This Is Your Life Beans on Toast special, ‘Knee Deep In Nostalgia’ finds Beansstrolling down memory lane and pausing for thought on some of the unforgettable experiences along the way. From songs harking back to the good old days of the “The Village Disco”, to personal thanks to a “Favourite Teacher” from Beans’ Essex secondary School.
