Ex Mac Demarco Guitarist, Homeshake, Australia Bound

Homeshake (ex Mac Demarco) is set to hit Australian shores at last, following the release of his sophomore effort ‘Midnight Snack’.

Homeshake is the pseudonym and solo project of Edmonton-born, Montreal-based musician Peter Sagar. A follow up to 2014 debut ‘In The Shower’, his second release saw a swap of guitar for synthesizers, a drum machine and the development of vocal arrangements from loops he created for his solo set.

The resulting collection was an eclectic tangle of personal anecdotes steeped in an everlasting reverence of D’Angelo and R Kelly. Much of the record was written following Sagar’s dizzying time on the road as touring guitarist with Mac Demarco, reflecting on the loneliness that plagued him towards the end of his run and the longing for life back home in Montreal.

Sagar left the band to focus on his own music and to rebuild the infrastructure of his life. While many of the new tracks meander through anxiety and melancholy, it is also a witness to a return to safety.

There is a reoccurring theme for Sagar of pulling inward throughout the record. He casts a wide net and fills it with a multitude of musical influences from international tour dates then slows it down a few tempos and builds something humble around it.

The slacker-jazz, RnB virtuoso will make his debut visit to Australia under the guise of Homeshake, with his full band in tow later this month.
