The new album was produced by Davies and David Nolte. Davies explains that 'Rippin Up Time' is about "a man's reflections of the past, his fears, anxieties and optimism about the present and hopeful expectations about the future.

"I had a lot of ideas in my head thinking about the past and how we started and the Kinks and my own life and the present and what's happening with my life now and concerns and worries, anxieties about the future.

"I suddenly had an image of all the times overlapping as if they're all in one place in my mind. I thought I'd just write it from the point of view of a dream. It's a mixture of emotions that I was going through as I was writing the songs, some would be happy or reflective or sad."

Davies also revealed that his son Russ Davies sings on two tracks, "In the Old Days" and "Through my Window". Dave had this to say, "It was wonderful working with my son Russ Davies and old friend David Nolte on this project and am really excited about the album." You can preorder the album here
