In a surprising and deeply moving turn, former Labour MP and writer Peter Bradley has released his debut album today under the name Brandes. The album, titled, The Distance Between Dreams, combines introspective songwriting with powerful historical undertones.
Bradley, who served in Parliament in the early 2000s and later authored a widely praised Holocaust memoir, now turns to music to explore themes of identity, love, loss, and legacy. The album features stripped-back arrangements with rich lyrical depth and influences ranging from Leonard Cohen to Joni Mitchell.
Standout tracks include “Please Don’t Call”, a heartbreakingly honest farewell to love, and “Song for Mordecai”, a sweeping narrative inspired by Daniel Deronda and performed with traditional Middle Eastern instruments.
Bradley describes the project as “a long overdue return to creativity, and a chance to express stories that go beyond politics.” The album is available now on all streaming platforms.
