Our Take

Danish guitarist Mikkel Ploug is quick to help us all remember the simple pleasures in his latest album "Day In The Sun". With its whimsical melodies and intricate guitar work, Ploug effortlessly transports listeners to a sunny paradise where worries melt away and all that matters is the music.

The album kicks off with the title track, a jaunty tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Ploug's expert guitar playing is on full display here, weaving in and out of the melody like a musical magician. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to the infectious rhythm.

Tracks like "Sunrise Serenade" and "Beach Breeze" capture the laid-back vibe of a lazy summer day perfectly. Ploug's talent shines through in every note, making it clear why he's considered one of the best guitarists in the game.

But "Day In The Sun" is not all sunshine and rainbows. Ploug digs deep on tracks like "Moonlit Memories", showcasing a more introspective side to his playing. The haunting melody sticks with you long after the song ends, leaving you contemplating the beauty of life and love.

Overall, "Day In The Sun" is a must-listen for anyone in need of a musical escape. Ploug's expert craftsmanship and playful spirit make this album a joy to listen to from start to finish. So grab a cold drink, find a sunny spot, and let Mikkel Ploug's music transport you to a perfect day in the sun. Jolly good show, Mikkel!
