Alan Reed - Honey on the Razor's Edge - released March
14th
Alan’s second solo album picks up where the Celtic sweep of his
debut left off. But this time there’s a harder -edged incisiveness more
reminiscent of his work with Pallas. The acoustic under-pinning of the
last album takes a back seat behind driving guitars and exuberant keyboards.
Lyrically it’s angry and direct, covering everything from the
frustrations of struggling and moribund relationships to the rise of the
post-truth narcissist.
As well as vocals Alan provides guitars, basses, drum
programming and bass pedals, with Mike
Stobbie and Scott Higham returning on keys and drums respectively. There
are also contributions from Jeff Green (lead guitar), Lazuli’s Claude Leonetti
(Leode) and Steve Hackett (HarmonicA) Additional vocals come courtesy of
Magenta’s Christina Booth, Harvest's Monique Van Der Kolk and Weendo's Laetitia
Chaudemanche.
