“Jesus Murphy” develops from quaint, yearning synth-pop into an infectious sound with bright guitar twangs. The release from Canadian-born artist Peter Mol succeeds in its accessible aesthetic and easily accessible melody, excelling especially in the final minute with the multi-layered vocal lines. Mol has seen considerable success as a session musician, producer, and songwriter. He is half of successful Canadian act Zerbin, who tout multiple top 40 alt-rock singles, and has works featured across a variety of media. Mol has his first solo album on the horizon, which he self-produced and recorded alongside multiple creative collaborators. If “Jesus Murphy” is any indication, the album is poised to succeed.
