Peach Pit - Magpie

When Magpie came out i was fucking with it but somehow it's only sinking in real hard right now. I love Peach Pit and have been listening to them since before the release of You and Your Friends and i have every single one of their albums on vinyl. I really really love the lyrics of their songs, there's always this tender familiarity to them? One thing that often gets to me is when they drop a person's name in the middle of a song, like in Tommy's Party "Chucky knows he'll have to carry me home but he'll say that's fine" and that's the only part in the song where Chuck cames up.

AND THE SOUNDDDDD

it scratches a pretty specific ache in my soul, idk how to describe it, i need to get better at music to know what i'm talking about

But yeah! I've been really really enjoying Magpie. I'm happy they have released Am I Your Girl. It's a lot more mellow than that one recording, which i really like, but it works very well especially considering the theme of the song? But damn i love the bright guitar in the recording.

Little Dive caved its way into my brain so strong, the chorus is so catchy, the muddy guitars sound so good. I really love the narrative in Outta Here. Max & Wane's really captivates me. The song feels like remembering a period of your life that wasn't ideal but with that effect that time tends to have on these things, where you remember things more fondly? The line of "If i don't mow the grass will grow and swallow whole your bicycle" referencing the bicycle of the person the singer wants to leave their house finally is such a bittersweet image for me?

I also really like the visualizers and how they are theming this release? From their visualizers to their website everything feels very 2000s, feeding into the general feeling of nostalgia and times past that is recurring in their songs. I really love this kind of art and i'm a whore for low poly art in particular, so it's hitting the right spots for me

I'm loving Magpie lots and i'm really excited to see what comes next from Peach Pit <3
