About this album

pH7 is a sharp, restless art-rock statement from Peter Hammill, one of progressive rock’s most distinctive writers and singers. Issued in 1979, the album finds the former Van der Graaf Generator frontman balancing jagged guitar lines, uneasy melodies and sharply drawn lyrics with an almost novelistic sense of character and conflict. Its songs move between political unease, personal tension and dark wit, showing Hammill at his most focused and unsentimental. The record helped confirm his reputation as a singular solo artist after Van der Graaf Generator, and remains a strong example of late-1970s art rock that prizes ideas as much as atmosphere.
