Album Description
Anderida is Peter's third album. The title refers to the name given by the Romans, to the giant forest that stretched from the east coast of England across Kent, Sussex and into Hampshire. Looking north from the Downs, all you'd see were trees. Roads, settlements, villages and towns were created over the centuries, and where Peter lives is part of all that. Peter loved the idea that it was all once a density of trees, and this became the concept and theme of his new album. Treat yourself to fourteen brand new helpings of Beach Boys inspired pop!
From the Artist
What's been said about Peter's music in the past...
"Beach Boys fans will love it, as will anyone who still appreciates crafted melodies and harmonies." Kingsley Abbott, Record Collector.
"A singer-songwriter of great scope and vision, capable of complex melodic chamber pop... Lacey's piano and vocals are multi-tracked to resemble a heavenly, Brian Wilson-obsessed host." Paul Johnson, Uncut.
About the Artist
"Peter Lacey emerged at the end of the millennium from the shadows of years of session work on the British scene with a sound so melodically rich and sophisticated that he earned inevitable comparisons to legends from the golden era of pop music, Brian Wilson and Burt Bacharach in particular."
