King Crimson vocalist/guitarist Jakko Jakszyk announced at the end of July that he would be releasing a new solo album called Secrets & Lies on October 23rd. This is Jakko’s first return as a solo artist since 2011’s A Scarcity of Miracles – A King Crimson Projekt by Jakszyk/Fripp/Collins. Jakszyk had this to say about the Secrets & Lies via his official Facebook Page.
The enforced sabbatical from King Crimson has given me the opportunity to complete a new solo album, called “Secrets & Lies”. Encouraged by Thomas Waber at Inside Out Music, and aided and abetted by numerous friends, heroes and family. “Secrets & Lies” will be released on 23rd October 2020.
I’m joined on this album by my King Crimson bandmates Robert Fripp, Gavin Harrison, Tony Levin & Mel Collins, as well as appearances from John Giblin (Simple Minds), Mark King (Level 42), Peter Hammill (Van der Graaf Generator) and Al Murray.
“Secrets & Lies” will be released as a Limited CD+DVD Digipak (featuring 5.1 mix), Gatefold LP + CD & digitally. The cover art was created by Sam Chegini, with design by Phil Smee, and you can find the full track-listing below:
