Pip Hall – James (My Little Empire Records)

| Pip Hall - James |
Release Date: Out Now
So, I’ve been watching a lot of
Twin Peaks recently, like all of it and this song seems tailor made for the new
series. Aside from the title, ‘James’, there is a vibe about this tune that
just fits the eerie and more than a little bit twisted tone of any David Lynch
work. The synth bass notes drone ominously and the drums thud lazily before
some more optimistic melodies sashay in through the side door of One Eyed Jack’s
and sing like Tennis guesting on a Ladyhawke track produced by Arcade Fire.
This is down-tempo alt-pop and some may see it as gloomy but to me this is not
only luxurious in its wallowing emotion but it’s also the sign of an artist
developing, growing and progressing before our very ears and eyes. There was a
lot of hype around Pip Hall last year because of her tender years and I think
this is the track that justifies the hype but makes it more about her talent and
less about whether she was even born when Twin Peaks first aired.
