Pop/Review Brendan Pegg - Hard to Find

Brendan Pegg is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He studied music in Boston, Massachusetts, where he played guitar in numerous bands.

Brendan Pegg's song "Hard to Find" encapsulates the pain of looking for something that always seems just out of reach and is a charmingly personal meditation on love, loss, and the quiet places in between. Pegg's style is rooted in the emotional depth of bedroom pop and seems naturally honest and real, fusing delicate vocal delivery, meaningful lyrics, and lo-fi textures.

"Hard to Find" transports listeners to a realm of subdued vulnerability from the very first notes. The production is simple but evocative; Pegg's voice is the main focus of a warm, late-night setting created by mellow guitars, and soft reverb. His voice has both strength and vulnerability, as though every syllable is carefully considered before being sung.

The song's lyrics, which explore what it means to cling to something ephemeral, such as love, a moment, or a version of oneself, strike a balance between sorrow and hope. Pegg's wording has an honesty that is reminiscent of the poignant narratives of Jeremy Zucker and Dermot Kennedy, but he keeps his own tone: candid, reflective, and subtly potent.

The emotional accessibility of "Hard to Find" is what makes it unique. The song encourages listeners to sit with their emotions rather than run away from them; it sounds less like a performance and more like a confession.

Brendan Pegg establishes himself as a new voice in the indie pop landscape with this release, able to transform introspection into something sensitive, universal, and profoundly human.
