After an eight-year absence, Tiles guitarist and songwriter Chris Herin returns with his debut solo album Hiding in Plain Sight. 

 

A conceptual work about Herin coping with his father’s 10-year struggle with Alzheimer’s, the album combines distinctive Prog and Art Rock influences that alternate from sophisticated orchestral arrangements and polyrhythmic complexity to cinematic soundscapes and ambitious guitar workouts.

 

Herin teamed up with renowned producer Terry Brown (Rush) and mastering engineer Peter Moore. Complementing the poignant lyrical themes is Rush designer Hugh Syme’s whimsical and engaging imagery. 

 

Guests include Peter Frampton, Alex Lifeson (Rush), Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre, John O’Hara and Doane Perry, Michael Sadler (Saga), Kim Mitchell (Max Webster), Tim Bowness (No-Man), Colin Edwin, Randy McStine (Steven Wilson) and other notable guests. 

 

Limited CD in digipak with 8-page booklet.
