After taking a few years off from music to concentrate on his television and screenwriting projects, Davis went back into the studio with a new band to record Music For Mortals. The album features a collection of songs written over the course of the last year of his father's life, and explores themes found in several "books of the dead." Once again it was produced and engineered by Alex Gibson (David Lee Roth, Sting, Ben Folds), and features musicians Blair Sinta (Alanis Morissette, Annie Lennox) on drums, Joel Shearer (Christina Aguilera, Dido) on guitar, Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Tori Amos, Beck) on bass, and Nathan Jenkins (Beyoncé, Slim Thug) on various instruments, electronic programming, additional production & engineering. The first single from the album is called "Beautiful Place".
