About Peach Pit:
Peach Pit’s songs feel like a close friend telling you a story. The Vancouver quartet—Neil Smith [vocals, guitar], Chris Vanderkooy [guitar], Peter Wilton [bass], and Mikey Pascuzzi [drums]—refine this signature storytelling over a soundtrack of breezy guitars and some ballsy distortion on their forthcoming sophomore album, expected this spring via Columbia Records.
As legend has it, these high school buddies from North of the Border achieved a major breakthrough in 2016 with their self-titled viral anthem, “Peach Pit.” It has accrued over 32 million Spotify streams and heralded the Sweet FA EP in 2017, which also includes their hit single “Seventeen.” Meanwhile, the band’s 2017 full-length debut Being So Normal yielded a string of off-kilter anthems a la “Tommy’s Party” [19 million streams], “Alrighty Aphrodite” [16.5 million streams], and “Drop the Guillotine” [10.8 million streams]. Along the way, they have built a cult following in large part due to their stellar live show. Peach Pit supported Two Door Cinema Club in the US this fall and have performed everywhere from Bonnaroo, Shaky Knees Music Festival, and Bumbershoot to Capital Hill Block Party in addition to attracting acclaim from Vice, Substream, Exclaim, and more.
Peach Pit began 2020 with their latest release “Shampoo Bottles,” which will be featured on their forthcoming sophomore album this spring. The song brought a new melancholy tone to the band’s style while describing the familiar daily reminders of lost love. The nostalgically comforting track reminds you that everyone copes with breakups in their own, sometimes quirky and amusing, ways.
In speaking about the new single, Peach Pit’s lead singer Neil Smith says: “‘Shampoo Bottles’ is a song about the stuff my ex-girlfriend left at my apartment after we broke up (deodorant, shampoo, cell phone charger) and how even after I’d used up all the soap in the bottle and the deodorant in the stick, I still didn’t throw them out for a while. The video, directed by our longtime collaborator Lester Lyons-Hookham, has four protagonists each mourning the end of something. It shows how coping with a loss can make you do weird things.”
In the end, you’ll remember these songs (and stories) for a long time to come.
