Englandâs psych-pop guru releases new album

âGothic-psych-baroque-rocker waxing demented in a way only an Englishman can...impeccable.â (Goldmine, USA).

Englandâs psych-pop guru Paul Roland, described by one-time label mate Robyn Hitchcock as âthe male Kate Bushâ, releases his new rock album âRe-Animatorâ on Italian label Black Widow this OCTOBER (BWR 097). You can view the cover of the album at www.blackwidow.it (see under âFuture Projectsâ)

âRe-Animatorâ features several songs with an H.P.Lovecraft theme and includes contributions from musicians who have recorded with Caravan, Jimi Hendrix and Steve Hillage.

Those who relish Paulâs atmospheric tales of Victorian serial killers, mad women in the attic, Dickensian underworld characters and eccentric Edwardian inventors will know what forbidden pleasures await them for the occult figures strongly in Rolandâs fantasy world. But this continuing fascination with the supernatural is no mere window dressing. Roland is the author of 13 best selling books on the subject and the creator of the Kabbalah Cards (a form of psychological tarot cards now available from www.amazon.co.uk and www.amazon.de).

âRolandâs gaslight world is one of quaint but dark English folklore, sinister Victoriana and bittersweet stories...â (Uncut, UK)

âGenius at play! Roland must be ranked with the most creative and unique songwriters of his generation...the work of an exceptional talent. If Shakespeare, Poe and Conan Doyle were alive today, they would surely have some Roland in their record collections. Unfortunately theyâre dead...whatâs your excuse?â Bucketful of Brains, UK

âRoland is a maestro of melancholy and madness⦠ornate gothic/baroque songwriting and quintessentially English pop-psych dementiaâ¦princely stuff.â (Ptolemaic Terrascope)
