Who let the cat out?

Quote from the press bio:

The material that Fagen wrote for Morph The Cat goes back a number of years, but the project crystallized in the past two years as he began to ponder life and death issues in a new way. “I’m starting to get older, and began to think about mortality a little more,” says Fagen. “My mother died in 2003 and that was a big shock. When your parents start to die off, that’s going to be a revelation. So for me, this album – although it might sound quite cheery – is really talking a lot about death.”

The cover of the new CD - released March 7 or 8 depending on what part of the world you live in - sure fit the quote above. Although the record itself is supposed to sound a lot more "up" than the cover and quote might lead you to believe.

Anyways, it's nice to know what to look for in the record store come March!
