PEACH PIT RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE “UP GRANVILLE”
Canadian Indie rock band Peach Pit has released new song “Up Granville.” Lifted from their forthcoming third album, “Up Granville” marks the Vancouver-based quartet’s first musical offering since the 2020 release of their sophomore LP You and Your Friends. The track, which balances lyrical themes of loneliness and isolation with warm guitars and sunny melodies, is accompanied by an official video directed by longtime collaborator Lester Lyons-Hookham. Check it out.
Peach Pit "Up Granville"
Ahead of release, Peach Pit performed their first live shows since the cancellation of their sold-out global tour, originally slated for spring 2020. The band kicked off their return to live music with a sold-out show at Brooklyn's Baby's All Right before heading to Delaware for a prominent set at Firefly. Playing fan-favorites from their first two albums as well as "Up Granville," and a few other unreleased tracks, Peach Pit is gearing up to take 2022 by storm.
Through bad breakups, bouts of loneliness, existential crises, and even pandemics, true friends stick around. Instead of bending and breaking, their bonds crystallize in the roughest of rough patches. If friendship had a sound, it would be Peach Pit. The wistful grooves, glassy guitars, and sun-kissed melodies feel like they could only be made by musicians who have spent close to a lifetime (or at least half of their lives) together. The Vancouver quartet—Neil Smith [vocals, guitar], Chris Vanderkooy [guitar], Peter Wilton [bass], and Mikey Pascuzzi [drums]—trace their union back to high school.
During 2016, they served up the self-titled single, “Peach Pit,” eclipsing north of 100 million total streams counting. The group continued to gain traction with their 2017 full-length debut, Being So Normal. Among many highlights, “Tommy’s Party” and “Alrighty Aphrodite” both surpassed 50 million Spotify streams as they graced the bills of festivals such as Shaky Knees Festival, Bonnaroo, Firefly Festival and many more. In 2020 Peach Pit revealed You and Your Friends, which DIY Mag hailed as “12 tracks of infectious indie-pop gems” while Atwood Magazine described the band as being “at the cutting edge of the alternative music scene.” Carrying this momentum into 2021, they kick off the next chapter of the band and their friendship with the single “Up Granville.”
