Fresh Air (Blue & Clear Splatter Vinyl)

Born in the bleak isolation of the secluded prairie city of Edmonton, Canada, Homeshake’s Peter Sagar worked with friends in a number of local bands be-fore picking up and moving to Montreal in 2011 to begin recording under the Homeshake moniker. Following two selfreleased cassettes (The Homeshake Tapes and Dynamic Meditation) and two acclaimed full lengths (In The Shower and Midnight Snack), Sagar cracks a window open with his third album for Sinderlyn – Fresh Air. Started immediately following the recording of Midnight Snack, Fresh Air continues Sagar’s exploration of dreamy, downtempo bedroom R&B and draws inspiration from such disparate artists like Sade, The Band, Broadcast, Prince, and Angelo Badalamenti. As the title Fresh Air suggests, Sagar’s songs were created to clear his listeners’ minds of negativity. Full of smokey, laid back love songs and airy productions, Sagar’s decidedly stoned sound is a breath of fresh air.“Homeshake manages to be both as intimate and idiosyncratic as a half-heard secret whispered in your ear” - The FADER “[Sagar] balances atmospheric sounds with his more hitting synth hooks perfectly, leaving no room for dull moments on the album. “ - NYLON “Sagar adds unforgettably sugary synth riffs that are equally danceable and mopey.” - Pitchfork
