This post is the first in a series of new songs (for me) that
tickle my ears.
Last Friday Peter Hall released “In Plain Sight” (Bandcamp), the
first track of many he’ll be sending our way over the next six months perhaps to
get us ready for a new album. If you’ve been reading this blog you know that Peter’s
work is nothing new to me. His Light the Stars was my favorite album from last
year and the 2020 EP There’s Something Wrong with Everyone was, for me, a wonderful
introduction to his work.
So what’s so special about “In Plain Sight”? As far as I know
Peter wrote the song, played all the instruments, and recorded the track in his
own Daisyland Studio just as he’s done for everything else. But there’s
something about the sound that keeps me going back for a listen. Peter has
always had a special way with melody and, having pulled all of his influences
together, he’s developed his own unique sound. For me, “In Plain Sight” seems to
be just a bit different, a step ahead in the development of his craft.
Bottom line: I love the sound of this song. “In Plain Sight,” as far as I’m concerned, is pop of the
highest quality,
