Peter Salett - Dance of the Yellow Leaf (2025) [Hi-Res]

Peter Salett, a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, film composer, and actor, unveils his 10th and 11th albums — Suite for the Summer Rain and Dance of the Yellow Leaf — as a two-part song cycle blending poetic introspection with cinematic and natural textures. Co-produced with Jeff Hill and crafted over six years, the albums interweave grief, healing, and transformation, enhanced by orchestral arrangements and ambient environmental sounds.

Reflecting personal loss and spiritual searching, the suites evolve from themes of sorrow to renewal, marked by collaborations with musicians like Thomas Bartlett and Chris Carmichael. Salett’s background in film and activism — including his founding of The Hometown Project — adds depth to a work that is both intimate and socially resonant. These emotionally layered works offer listeners a meditative space in a turbulent world.
