Why are you so Hot?!I know! It's exhausting.

From whom did you get your gorgeous eyes, mum or dad?From my serene Mother

Are you working on a new album? When will it be released?My new album is finished and ready to go in 2025. I won’t announce the name or details until the time except to say it’s produced by Youth and has big names guesting on a few songs.

Will you perform/tour again? When?I will never stop touring if I can help it.

Will you do another residency?Since I enjoyed the two residencies so much (NYC and SF), it is a possibility. I would enjoy holding them in, say, South America and Europe somewhere.

Book of Psalms by Prophet David
Poems by Rumi
The Invisible Way by Reshad Field
Dr Faustus by Christopher Marlowe

Who are your favourite musicians/bands? What music do you like to listen to?Unwise question. Ever changing. The minute I like any music I’ve forgotten it within a day. But Radiohead are always a good go to, early Roxy, Brian Eno, Talking Heads, Gregorian Chants, Philip Glass, Amy Winehouse etc..

What is your favourite solo/Bauhaus album? Favourite solo/Bauhaus song?Best not to say. So I won’t.

What is your least favourite Bauhaus song?Paranoia Paranoia

What is your favourite solo works song?I don’t have favourites….you do… they’re your songs to have.

Do you have a favourite song that you love to sing?I don’t remember what it is but it’s from a Philip Glass Opera. It’s transcendent.

Which of your works are you most proud of?My marriage and children… All We Ever Wanted and Strange Kind of Love… oh and Your Face.

What do you enjoy doing during downtimes?Cooking, singing, gardening, painting, writing, driving long distances alone, travelling far and wide.

Favourite movie?Rashomon by Akira Kurosawa. Into the Inferno volcanoes documentary by Warner Herzog

Favourite food/snack?Fresh cream cakes. Freshly caught fish n chips with a boiled onion

What do you regret?There’s no regrets. No tears, goodbye. Don’t want you back. We’d only cry again…say good bye again.

What would you have done differently in life if you could go back and do it all over again?Impossible question and a non-starter since whatever has happened has and whatever is going to happen has already happened.

Do you ever agonize when writing lyrics? Are your lyrics intentionally obtuse to allow listeners to fashion their own stories? Do you mostly draw from experience or do you generally just get an idea and stream of consciousness takes over?My lyrics are a result of a natural propensity to be sponge-like acutely perceptive wise and a killer communicator through written words and expression through the singing medium. It’s how you tell them.

Do you have a live performance that you recall fondly? Cruel World 2022, with your face on the giant monitors under the blood moon was one of the most intense live performances I’ve witnessed.Thank you. Amazing, yes.

Is there any musical collaboration you wish you would have done?Massive Attack and Eno. I’m enjoying my current collaboration with Youth. We are, in effect, a band in ourselves adding the crucial contribution of our engineer/ programmer Michael Rendall as well as Edward Bander on drums and remixing.

What is "Hollow Hills" about?Hidden wisdom

One of my favourite Bauhaus songs is “Honeymoon Croon”. What’s the song about?Secreted desire expressed through and attempted through relations with a prostitute

What was your most memorable Bauhaus show in the 1980s?A lot of them, honestly

My all-time favourite song is “CRYSTAL WRISTS”. Are you saying in the lyrics that you had a “born again” experience and struggled with it? If not, can you tell what inspired the song?A childhood (4 years old) trauma, a moment of a kind of expansion of awareness beyond my capacity to comprehend. Shapes seemed to change, buildings grow huge, the vase on the sideboard stretching into the sky… a mind meld.

Peter, your music has influenced and resonated with fans for decades. Can you share a moment or experience that significantly shaped your approach to songwriting and performing?The person or people around me feeding me a line or two sends my imagination and one take vocal composition into action. My skill is choosing who and what to work with.
