""We have all grown sometimes together and sometimes apart. But we've never felt more 'together' than right now," Simpson began. "Inspired heavily from endless hours on the bus watching old clips of the great fusion-funk band Stuff, and revisiting off-the-beaten-track concept records like Marvin Gaye's In Our Lifetime, where, in what looks like the end of the world, the artist's response is, 'Let's dance and make love.'""
""Simpson added that the songs on Mutiny After Midnight can be divided into two categories: the dark state of the world and the bright state of love. "To categorize Mutiny is tricky, but many will no doubt come with their glass ceilings to try," he stated. "We believe the term American Music pretty much says it all. And for all the big ideas behind the Mutiny, there's a simple goal we as a band set out to achieve: to make a dance record.""
Sturgill Simpson returns to his Johnny Blue Skies moniker for a new album titled Mutiny After Midnight and an accompanying tour. The band is now billed as Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds and recorded the groove-centered album in a Nashville studio between 2025 U.S. and Western Europe tours. The record draws inspiration from fusion-funk group Stuff and concept records like Marvin Gaye's In Our Lifetime. Songs split between the dark state of the world and the bright state of love, with the band aiming to make a dance record and to perform full-length sets without opening acts.
