As an erstwhile singer and writer for KALEIDOSCOPE and FAIRFIELD PARLOUR, Peter Daltrey knows his way around psychedelia and progressive rock all too well, so it’s hardly surprising that he is universally respected and appeared on a few records by other artists, most notably on AYREON albums. His solo career, which started with “Dream On” back in 1995, has been impressive too, even though the last solo platter of fresh material issued under the Briton’s name appeared in 2002, because what followed “The Last Detail” was either collaborations with Damien Youth and Mark Mortimer, “Running Through Chelsea” laid down with the latter arriving earlier this year, or works Daltrey released as Link Bekka. However, Peter’s forthcoming opus bears the veteran’s own signature.
Slated to be put out on December 15th, “The Leopard And The Lamb” consists of a dozen pieces capturing the performer’s essential Englishness and refracting it through the lens of nostalgia that’s given a contemporary sonic slant. Must be tasty, especially with a sense of inner piece reigning over it all, as the album’s title should suggest. Read the review.
