"Silver Ladder", due out on Signature Sounds on 31st March, is an auditory shot in the arm from veteran touring songwriter Peter Mulvey. Produced by the indomitable Chuck Prophet, it is a lean, muscular collection of tightly constructed songs, leavening Mulvey’s tendency toward ruminative and yearning acoustic songs with a dose of sharp-witted, punchy rock and roll.
After a turbulent stretch in his personal life left him at sea, Mulvey decided to write his way out of it: "I've been through it. I bet you have too," he said. "But there are times in life when you turn a corner and suddenly everything is simple: let's make some songs, people! Let's play!"
Committing to writing one song a week relieved him of the precious, self-involved artist's question, "What Do I Have To Say?", the songs came flooding out over the weeks and months, and within a year he had more than enough for a new record.
To mark the release of the new album, Mulvey will be touring Ireland the UK in March and April 2014. Full dates below.
