Of the album, which is divided into three parts, Dolby says, "The new songs are organic and very personal. A Map of the Floating City is a travelogue across three imaginary continents: In Amerikana I'm reflecting with affection on the yearsI spent living in the U.S.A., and my fascination with its roots music. Urbanoia is a dark place, a little unsettling . . . Im not a city person. And in Oceanea I return to my natural home on the windswept coastline."
