Our Take

PETER HAMMILL In A Foreign Town / Out Of Water 2023 is a whirlwind of an album that takes listeners on a journey through the mind of a musical genius. Hammill's distinctive vocals and poetic lyrics are front and center, drawing listeners in with their emotional depth and raw honesty.

In A Foreign Town kicks things off with a bang, with Hammill's soaring vocals and intricate guitar work creating a sense of urgency that propels the listener forward. The title track is a standout, with its haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics painting a vivid picture of life in a foreign land.

On Out Of Water, Hammill takes a more introspective approach, delving into themes of identity, loss, and rebirth. The album's more subdued tracks, such as "Lost and Found" and "The River," showcase Hammill's masterful storytelling and ability to evoke a wide range of emotions with just his voice and a guitar.

Overall, PETER HAMMILL In A Foreign Town / Out Of Water 2023 is a triumph of songwriting and musicianship. Hammill continues to push boundaries and defy expectations, cementing his status as a true musical innovator. This album is a must-listen for fans of art rock and experimental music alike.

About the artist

Peter Hammill

Peter Hammill is not your typical rock star. As the frontman of progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator, Hammill has been pushing the boundaries of music for over five decades. His distinctive vocals and introspective lyrics have earned him a loyal following, despite never quite achieving mainstream success. Born in London in 1948, Hammill formed Van der Graaf Generator in the late 1960s with fellow musicians Chris Judge Smith and Nick Peame. The band quickly gained a reputation for their complex compositions and thought-provoking lyrics, with Hammill's intense stage presence only adding to their allure. Hammill's solo career has been equally as influential, with albums like "Fool's Mate" and "The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage" earning critical acclaim. His music is a unique blend of rock, jazz, and classical influences, creating a sound that is at once challenging and captivating. Despite his long and storied career, Hammill remains a somewhat enigmatic figure in the music world. He eschews the trappings of fame, preferring to let his music speak for itself. But make no mistake, Peter Hammill is a true musical innovator, constantly pushing himself and his listeners to new heights of creativity and emotion.
