The track is the first new release from the iconic band since their 2019 album ‘Infinity’. Since then, guitarist Richard Black has relocated to the UK, making 'Beginnings' the first time the band has created music completely remotely.

"Though we're not able to play live together anymore, we still chat all the time and all agreed it would be nice to do a new project involving everybody", says Tully (lead vocals and bass).

The song recalls the band's iconic hit 'Buccaneer' and was conceived as an ode to the band's heritage as well as humanity's love for and creation of music over the millennia.

"There is music in everyone. Some let out, some keep it in, but it's always been there" says Mike (drums and backing vocals), to which Gordon (keyboard and backing vocals), quips "some should rather never let it out!" before adding "A great song that came together with the five of us independently creating our individual parts, each of us oblivious to the other’s ideas and yet the result sounds as though we were all in the same studio. Very proud to be a part of this project."

For Rupert (lead vocals and keyboard), it was one of the band's most enjoyable projects, "The song is not overly complex but quite haunting lyrically. And yet again we have maintained the McCully trademark harmonies. So recognizable."

"The song is the essence of all that is great about the band", says Richard (guitar and backing vocals) "and I cherish the challenge of creating meaningful guitar parts and playing them as live as possible...and adding vocal flavours to help complete the McCully Workshop magic."

"Beginnings" is available on all digital platforms from May the 20th 2022.

McCully/Mackay reveal title track for their forthcoming second album

McCully/Mackay reveal title track for their forthcoming second album Progrock duo McCully/Mackay are proud to announce The Garden of the Snake, their new single and title track for their forthcoming second album. Darker both musically and lyrically than their previous works, the track explores themes of exploitation, manipulation and corruption inspired by familiar myths and parables as well as the modern landscape of our ever-increasingly authoritarian world. “There’s an increasing number of laws and encroachment on individuals” says Tully. “Levels of ever-growing red tape are suffocating creativity and expression. It’s a system that benefits the wealthy and powerful, who can buy their own justice.” The band are known for their bold instrumentation and continue to push their skills with their new material. Along with the signature synth and guitar sounds, Garden of the Snake heightens the eerie atmosphere with a violin solo. "Tully was hinting at me playing some
