Guests include O Wakeman, Sherwood, Michael Lewis (who worked with Jon Anderson) and Adam Holzman (who has worked with Steven Wilson and Miles Davis). The album was released 11 Oct 2024 digitally, on CD and 2LP. Dodson has described the album as autobiographical, with the title referring to how he found himself in the 11th hour of his career.
