The Accidental by Peter James Millson

The idea was to spend the year producing other people, playing on and mixing other people’s music: I’d had enough of writing and performing. I loved nothing better than finding rogue resonant frequencies in bad acoustic guitar recordings. So that’s what I did. I produced three records for artist friends, mixed various tracks for people, and an old school friend got in touch because he needed some loud guitar on his new record, so I did that, too.
I was very comfortable with how things seemed to bounce from one thing to another. Only, in November 2020, I looked around and found that I’d inexplicably and surreptitiously written and recorded seven new songs. I was even more surprised to find another four ideas waiting in notebooks. So I shoved it all down on ‘tape’, and stood looking at it.
I asked Tom Rose at Reveal Records if he would help me shuffle the songs into line. He said he’d like the album for his label. I’ve called it The Accidental.
