About this album

Smallcreep's Day is Mike Rutherford’s most ambitious solo statement, blending progressive-rock scale with a more melodic, reflective touch. Issued in 1980, the album found the Genesis co-founder stepping out on his own while still drawing on the widescreen arranging sense that made his work so distinctive. Built around the concept of an ordinary man’s life and dreams, it links strong storytelling with long-form songcraft and elegant guitar-led detail. Its mix of atmosphere, ambition and accessible hooks helped confirm Rutherford as more than a sideman, making the album a notable entry in late-1970s and early-1980s prog-leaning rock.
