Saloman was originally in a band known as the Bevis Frond Museum in the late 1960s, and in the 1970s, whilst at college, he played guitar with a duo called Oddsocks.

[4] The early Von Trap Family recordings, comprising three sessions, were released on the Bevis Frond Bandcamp site for the first time in May 2010.

[7] In 1990, he returned to the studio to record his next album, New River Head,[4] which featured guest musicians including Barry Dransfield and David Tibet.

A couple of years earlier he had signed a deal with Past and Present in the UK and Rubric Records in the US, after which most of his early albums were remastered and re-released with bonus tracks.

This initiative faltered after a couple of years, and all the early albums up to and including London Stone were re-released (except Any Gas Faster).

Recorded at Golddust Studios, it features a new drummer, Dave Pearce, formerly of Woronzow artists Psycho's Mum, along with regular contributors Adrian Shaw and Paul Simmons.
