There’s something greatly theatrical in Peter Michaels Jr.’s music. A rather melodramatic charge, transporting the listeners into the American musician’s kaleidoscopic and eclectic sonic universe. Citing The Beatles as one of the pivotal artists in his development, it is clear that Michaels flourishes in the evocative symbiosis between lyricism and instrumental, creating records that sound more like theatrical soundtracks, rather than pop efforts.
‘Angry Oranges For Dinner’ is strong evidence of that. The New York creative’s latest effort, the album features ten engaging and vivid tracks, exploring the full depth of Peter Michaels’ artistry. From the Beatles-Esque gem ‘With Him’ to the more modern and electronic-powered ‘Free From the Brain’, passing through elegant and jazz-flavoured jewels such as ‘The Sun Guide’, there’s something for everyone in the record.
Peter Michaels Jr.’s evocative vocals adapt perfectly to such diverse settings, sharing a certain charisma and dynamism in the process. Describing the idea behind it, the American musician explains: “The idea behind this series of albums is sort of plastic-sounding music. The covers are all AI paintings of fruit with faces and the music is the most synthesized I’ve ever released.”
