Peter Hammill To Release ‘In Translation’ Album

Peter Hammill is to release his first ever Covers album ‘In Translation’ in the latter half of 2021 and it comprises songs from a variety of musical worlds…Classical, American Songbook, Italian Pop and Tango.

In all but three cases, Hammill has also translated the lyrics into English. These songs have remarkable stories behind them. While true to the original spirit, they have gone through subtle mutations. Hammill makes each song his own, fresh and new.
