Icarus Peel has been leading West-country psych sensations The Honey Pot and writing songs for Crystal Jacqueline for several years. He also has several solo albums to his name including Tea at My Gaff, Sunflower Army and Sing!. His first two albums have distinct flavours of their own. Tea at My Gaffe is a collection of mainly shorter, idiosyncratic songs with an obviously English flavour, while Sunflower Army blends a big rock sounds with a more rustic feel. It’s a mix Peel has perfect over the years and which he employs for his new long-player Forget-Me-Not Under Pussy Willow.

Forget-Me-Not Under Pussy Willow is as bizarre, eccentric and engaging as ever. Indeed, what could be more bizarre and eccentric than a concept album about an undertaker? For that is what Forget-Me-Not Under Pussy Willow is. A good, old-fashioned concept album like they used to make about good (an undertaker) and evil (a gang of villains from the smoke). It was written as a bet and Peel won. It’s not at all dark, but rather it’s peppered with a light, wry humour which seasons Peel’s hook laden psych pop songs and beautiful ballads. It evokes memories of long agos and times gone by, it’s as English as tuppence and as gentle as the bygone time that inspired it.

Forget-Me-Not Under Pussy Willow is available as 180gram black vinyl LP and very limited edition 4 CD set that includes Forget-Me-Not Under Pussy Willow and remastered versions of Tea at My Gaff, Sunflower Army and Sing! housed in a handmade wooden box. And if that’s not enough, the CD version of Forget-Me-Not Under Pussy Willow includes an additional song ‘Auntie Powers Her Nose’.
