Hibou - Hibou (New CD)

Written, recorded and played by Peter at home in Seattle, Hibou's self-titled debut LP features 11 songs and is a lush, driving mix of '80s inspired pop, fueled by twisting heavy reverb guitar melodies, elegant arrangements, and a love of soda, summertime nostalgia, and trips to Peter's inspirational point in Seattle: the fittingly-named Discovery Park. "I've written a ton of the melodies for the band there," he says. "It's my favorite place in the world."
