Peter Adams’ voice is like an alluring siren song; it draws your brain into his songs until you are lost there, with no way to get out. Spiral Eyes, is an extremely intense record, with sickly sweet music and the use of beautiful instruments such as violin, piano, synth, and guitar. The high register of his voice pricks the back of your neck with emotion.

“I Evolve” is one of my favorite songs on the album; it is cute and simple with violin and guitar playing alongside Peter’s voice. The melody is very beautiful with great use of tone and volume. It sounds like something I would want to listen to on a beautiful spring day with the boy of my dreams. Halfway though, the tone though changes from sweet and acoustic… there is an electric guitar solo that really ups the emotion and intensity of the song. The urgency and beauty in his voice by the end is fitting for the song and it carries on throughout the record. He has wonderful control over his vocal emotion and is excellent at portraying that through his voice.

“Spiralling” is another song that shows off Peter’s beautiful vocals as well as his instrumental talents. It is faster-paced and more plucky then some of his other songs. It also has a soft, smooth violin theme in the background, which just makes the song sound magical and soothing.

Peter Adam’s The Spiral Eyes is worth checking out if you are a fan of slower, more musical songs that would sooth you in the bath and make you feel good and tingly on the inside. Adams being the sole performer on the album, his musical talent is obvious. This is an album that you could listen to over and over again and every time find beauty and tranquility in the songs.
