For this week's SOUND ADVICE, Toronto-based musician Peter Sagar, aka HOMESHAKE, curates a timeless alt-90's playlist.
. Many moons ago, Peter was best known for playing in Mac DeMarco’s live band, but since then he’s honed his infectious, experimental sound with six solo albums, including his latest,, released last week. Just don’t call it shoegaze. “I have been seeing a lot of shoegaze comments,” he told us, “but I don’t hear the shoegaze in it, to be honest.
I have been seeing a lot of shoegaze comments, but I don’t hear the shoegaze in it, to be honest. But anyway, of course My Bloody Valentine is my favorite cause they’re the greatest band of all time. I don’t think I have a least favorite, maybe Chapterhouse? No disrespect.I don’t really have a song from my childhood or anything that sticks out, but when we were filming the video I was playing the latest ML Buch album on repeat in the truck and it now reminds me of that trip whenever I hear it.
My studio is in my apartment so it depends on whether or not I left the house that day. Sweats or jeans, robe or hoodie. An obvious answer but “Nothing Compares 2 U” just hits so hard. A perfect performance, an incredible artist. RIP.This would have been on our Asia tour right? Jakarta always gets me, I love playing there.“I Was a Grumpy Bitch”: Bananarama, in Conversation With Boy GeorgeSibling Duo Tonstartssbandht and Mac Demarco on Quitting Music Forever
