Homeshake is Peter Sagar, the Montreal-based Canadian musician who left Mac DeMarco's touring band to make woozy, falsetto-led bedroom pop of his own. Fresh Air (2017) and Midnight Snack (2015) are the entry points as his sound drifts from lo-fi guitars toward synthy, R&B-leaning territory. Find Homeshake vinyl, CDs, and reissues at Wax Trax Records.
Peter Sagar, performing as Homeshake, is a Canadian musician originally from Edmonton, Alberta and now based in Montreal, Quebec. He played guitar in Mac DeMarco's touring band before launching the Homeshake project in 2013. He has been on Sinderlyn (Captured Tracks' imprint) throughout most of his career.
Homeshake's sound combines bedroom pop, indie pop, dream pop, lo-fi indie, and contemporary R&B influences with Sagar's distinctive falsetto vocal delivery, drum machine programming, and slacker-soft production aesthetics. His work has progressively moved from lo-fi indie origins toward more synth-driven, R&B-influenced contemporary indie pop.
Sinderlyn pressings of the Homeshake catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions.
Listeners new to Homeshake typically start with Fresh Air (2017) or Midnight Snack (2015).
