PETER LACEY
Behind the Scenes
British journeyman and veritable one-man symphony Peter Lacey made his mark with immaculate chamber pop, but he’s lately expanded his parameters with two new albums. South Downs Way, a collaboration with Stephen J. Kalinich, found him exploring pastoral reflection and rugged folk narratives. Now Behind the Scenes spotlights charmingly whimsical designs in ways regal and retro, using elaborate orchestral flourishes to illuminate certain songs (“Shadow Play” and “Funfair for the Common Man”) and reflective McCartney-esque balladry to distinguish the rest.
