Daniel Vincent has announced his new studio album ‘Means of Escape,’ a deeply immersive release that blends ambient textures, progressive structures, and introspective lyricism. Spanning twelve tracks, the album represents a creative high point, pulling together threads from Vincent’s 22-year catalogue into a cohesive, emotionally rich journey. Moving beyond the post-progressive psychedelia of his earlier work, ‘Means of Escape’ reflects an artist taking stock of life, change, and acceptance. “Put succinctly, these songs are about living the life that we have, and not spending too much time worrying about the things you can’t change,” Vincent says. “Life is short.”
The album also marks Vincent’s first solo release to appear in the catalogue of long-time collaborator Burning Shed. “Making such an emotional and personal record like this, I knew I wanted to work with Pete [Morgan] and Tim [Bowness] to help guide me to where I needed to be,” he explains. Visually, the project is matched by artwork from legendary designer Carl Glover, known for his work with Porcupine Tree, Marillion, No-Man, and King Crimson. Glover’s return brings a visual depth that mirrors the album’s expansive and reflective tone, completing a release that feels carefully considered at every level.
