Peach Pit

Peach Pit’s fourth album is a masterclass in expansive arrangement and deeply felt songwriting — a winning formula that only continues the incredible trajectory the band’s been on since their star-making debut EP Sweet FA in 2016. The eleven songs captured on Magpie find the quartet — lead singer Neil Smith, guitarist Chris Vanderkooy, bassist Peter Wilton, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi — diving deeper into classic sounds while honing a musical style that entirely feels like their own.

Magpie represents the band’s culmination of everything Peach Pit have accomplished so far, from the deeply felt indie-rock sound they’ve already become well-known for to the psychedelic touches that surfaced on records like You and Your Friends and From 2 to 3. “All those different pieces make us a unique band,” Smith ruminates on the band’s mission thus far, before accurately concluding that they’ve achieved new heights on this latest triumph: “That’s what we’ve done here, and what we wanted to do from the start.”
