Speaking about his new album and upcoming tour, Gray said: “Some unfinished songs just refuse to do the polite thing and go away. And that’s certainly true of this one, which has had me going around in circles for nearly 20 years to the point of driving me almost crazy. ‘Plus & Minus’ is based in part on a chord sequence that originated in 2004, and it’s no exaggeration to say that it’s taken all those long years to fully resolve.”

“It’s an unusual kind of song for me, because it’s a three-minute pop song. In a slightly ‘Babylon’ style, it circles around the same idea three times.

“In ‘Babylon’ we had Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Here we have ‘You know what desire is… You know what light is… You know what time is.’ I could see it from the beginning. It’s so full of choruses, both lyrically and melody-wise, that it needed a tight arrangement to really maximize their value. It took a LOT of work to get there, but we got there in the end… even though the ending happened 20 years after it started!”

He added: “A lot has happened to me. There have been changes on many levels, all the ups and downs, the dramas, the tragedies and the joys that the slow movement of life brings. This record is a record of things that have been accumulating like parasites for years. But I say that with joy and a smile on my face. I know that what I have done is as good as anything I could ever do.”
