Words to the Wise was our debut album, released January 2024. It is more song-oriented than Peter's other projects (such as Imaginary Kings).

More from "The Progressive Aspect" - Words to the Wise is a gorgeous album. Signalling the beginning of a new project from Peter Rand (keyboards), Kevin Hartnell (drums) and Stefanie Kisamore (vocals, guitar), this absorbing debut release offers us seven engaging musical vignettes rich with elegant melodies and sumptuous layers which transfix and engross in equal measure.

What is impressive across the album is precisely that refined sense of musical balance and creative vitality which allows the various instruments as well as the vocals to find their perfect space and place in the way the music builds momentum and in the process form the most tremendous and exhilarating interactions,
