Listen to Jethro Tull’s ‘The Tipu House’ From Upcoming Album

Jethro Tull has released “The Tipu House,” the second single from their upcoming album Curious Ruminant.

The song cuts its hints of utopia, where “you feel for your neighbor,” with acidic lines like “The day of books and roses shown firmly to the door.” At three and a half minutes, “The Tipu House” recalls the band’s folk-rock roots, complete with a flute solo. (Fans craving Tull’s more progressive leanings will welcome the album’s 17-minute penultimate track “Drink From the Same Well.”)

“Our societies are filled with those who have risen from relative poverty to positions of greatness in the world and their successes are a beacon of hope for the rest of us, even if ‘greatness’ is a relative concept at the end of it all,” bandleader Ian Anderson notes in a press release for the new song.

You can watch the video for “The Tipu House” below.

The first single from Curious Ruminant, the album’s title track, debuted last month along with the announcement of the release of Jethro Tull’s 24th LP. Its release follows 2023’s RokFlote.
