Peter Sagar, also know by his stage name HOMESHAKE, has just dropped his latest album ‘CD Wallet’.
Released through Dine Alone Records this record sees him move away for his signature sound in favor or something with more indie Guitar Rock elements while still incorporating some aspects if his previous work to create a unique listening experience.
Most songs found here can be characterized by their use of melancholic riffs giving them what could only be described at times depressive moodiness when listened too closely.
About the album by Peter:
Written and recorded over a majority of 2023 at Peter’s home studio in Toronto, the album takes place in his hometown of Edmonton, and touches on memories of growing up and the feeling of returning years later.
Peter explains how the album was “made in a heavy, straightforward indie rock style to impress my childhood self” and addresses feelings of nostalgia and the trappings one finds themselves in when reflecting on years past.
CD Wallet also emphasizes Peter’s early fascination with guitar music: “Wake up, grandma why don’t you put on a little makeup,” or so he thought the lyrics went to “Chop Suey!” by System of a Down.
Peter was flabbergasted; he sat, mouth open, with a copy of Guitar World magazine open to the tablature of “Chop Suey!”
Reading the fine print with a magnifying glass completely stunned, knocked flat onto his back, he learned a guitar can be tuned much lower than he had expected!
Drop C in fact.
A tuning he uses to this day.
