Product Description
Born in the bleak isolation of the secluded prairie city of Edmonton, Canada, Homeshake’s Peter Sagar worked with friends in a number of local bands before picking up and moving to Montreal in 2011 to begin recording under the Homeshake moniker. Following two self-released cassettes (The Homeshake Tapes and Dynamic Meditation) and two acclaimed full lengths (In The Shower and Midnight Snack), Sagar cracks a window open with his third album for Sinderlyn – Fresh Air.
Started immediately following the recording of Midnight Snack, Fresh Air continues Sagar’s exploration of dreamy, downtempo bedroom R&B and draws inspiration from such disparate artists like Sade, The Band, Broadcast, Prince, and Angelo Badalamenti. As the title Fresh Air suggests, Sagar’s songs were created to clear his listeners’ minds of negativity. Full of smokey, laid back love songs and airy productions, Sagar’s decidedly stoned sound is a breath of fresh air.
“Like the other work he’s released under the Homeshake name [Midnight Snack is] a wonderfully tape-warped take on indie pop structures, though more keyboard heavy than ever before.” SPIN
“Midnight Snack [is] an eclectic and beautiful Homeshake album that takes the relaxed, jazzy vibe he honed in the past, and injected it with more varied often conflicting elements – because “contrast is good, not everything has to match.” It’s the most powerful statement he’s made, taking the side out of the ‘side project’ once and for all.” – Purple Sneakers
