Peter Long is an Australian singer, songwriter and musician, based in The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist and current performing member of the infamous Spooky Mens Chorale, he has released his first solo venture, Midday Sun: an album of broad soundscapes and sonic vistas, taking in influences that stretch from 60’s pop and psychedelia through to jazz, latin rhythms, Americana and electronica.
Midday Sun delves into themes of love, lust and betrayal, barren wastelands and the fever of an Australian summer. The song Melody's Fate took out the alternative music category at the 2007 Blue Mountains Music Awards.

'Throughout, it's obvious Long has a solid hold of his material and a focus to match, realising each song with such an eye for detail the whole thing just shimmers in your ears, the way it does in all the classic pop albums from Revolver on.'
Michael Smith, The Drum Media
'His arrangements have an almost transcendental aura about them. Breezy choruses, fuzzy guitars and reverb-assisted psychedelic swirls recall a '60's vibe (with) a touch of modern, edgy indieness.'
Paul Smith, Sydney Morning Herald
'Midday Sun embraces pop ideology and twists it in its own delicate way... it's a kind of eerie spacious pop-rock with a lot of heart.'
Daniel Holdsworth, Stix Magazine
