It might well summon another time, but this is music that - to its abounding credit - doesn’t hark back at the expense of taking a great, richly rewarding step forward.The musician is also set to make acting debut in Bollywood soon. “In 2015, I had a prolonged period of hypomania which although great for me, almost wrecked my life.”Īs its closer, 'Psychomanteum’ slickly jolts to an end, it’s obvious that Peter Gabriel is a resounding statement not one of intent, but doing. “It’s me being extremely flippant with the subject of my mental ill-health” the frontman revealed.
