Secrets & Lies (CD + DVD incl. 5.1 surround mix) (2020)

"King Crimson guitarist/vocalist Jakko M Jakszyk releases his new solo album Secrets & Lies. The album contains 11 songs that explore topics such as obsession, betrayal, the shifting grounds of contemporary politics, and the tangled threads of family history; all balancing sensitive writing, musical technique, and accessible tunes cast in an impressively cinematic sound world. 'The enforced sabbatical from King Crimson has given me the opportunity to complete a new solo album.', said Jakszyk. In fact, three of the tracks, "Separation", "Under Lock & Key" and "Uncertain Times" originated during King Crimson's writing sessions, and bandmates Robert Fripp, Gavin Harrison, Tony Levin & Mel Collins play on the album, as do bass players John Giblin (Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Simple Minds), Mark King (Level 42), Peter Hammill (Van Der Graaf Generator) and noted British comedian Al Murray."
