Philip B. Price chases the pandemic blues by making a pop record ('Well, pop for me')

While recording "Oceans Hiding in Oceans," Philip B. Price found himself exploring new sounds as he sought to evoke tunes by other artists, including Dolly Parton, the Magnetic Fields, and Regina Spektor.Signature Sounds
When Philip B. Price decided a few years ago to revive his solo career, the singer and songwriter figured he would ramp it up gradually. His plan was to alternate his own projects with albums by Winterpills, the Northampton folk-pop group he has fronted since 2003. Then the pandemic hit.
A few months after the fall 2019 release of “Bone Almanac,” his first solo album in 15 years, Price found himself at home with his wife — Winterpills bandmate Flora Reed — and their toddler son, his touring plans scrapped. By summer, with no end in sight, Price had what he calls “a bit of a breakdown.” With the help of an anti-depressant, he channeled his fear and anxiety into writing the 11 songs on “Oceans Hiding in Oceans,” his second solo release in two years. He recorded the tunes himself in his guest room/recording studio, and played all the instruments.
