Combining the lulling ambience of shoegaze with the iconic melodies and the vocal prowess of the classic American country music, The enigmatic outlaw cowboy – Orville Peck, croons love and loss from the badlands of North America. The resulting sound is one completely his own, taking the listener down dusty rose-colored desert highways, through a world where worn out gamblers, aloof road-dogs and lovesick hustlers drift in and out of his masked gaze.
Orville’s debut album, “Pony”, delivers a diverse collection of stories that sing of heartbreak, revenge and the unrelenting tug of the cowboy ethos. Warm lap steel guitars and echoing drums move through dreamy ballads, campfire lullabies and sometimes frantic buzzsaw tunes, all the while paying homage to his country music roots.
This debut album from the masked cowboy Orville Peck is a gauzy, pastoral journey through love and loss production with timeless country songwriting. It’s hard not to imagine a tumbleweed or two rolling by as Peck moves from song to song, effortlessly capturing the sounds, landscapes and relationships of the American countryside from a fresh new perspective.
