Homeshake, aka Peter Sagar, has announced a new album, “Under The Weather,” out September 10th via Dine Alone Records/SHHOAMKEE Records/Sinderlyn. With the announcement comes his new single “Vacuum,” a song that reflects the tender and raw emotions that will be displayed on the record. The single comes alongside a surreal and artfully animated video directed by Jordan Speer and produced by Brain Dead Studios.
Sagar wrote the majority of his fifth studio album, Under The Weather, in 2019, when he was going through a long, unrelenting period of sadness. The 12-track is a reflection on the artist's life and depression. “I was in a deep, deep depression,” he recalls of that time period now. “Tours were breaking me. It was awful.”
The album is not a reflection of pandemic life as some might assume. Sagar spent most of 2019 working on a bulk portion of the album, and long before had been writing songs surrounding isolation and depression. “People will probably think that I made Under The Weather during or about Covid. I was just already living my life that way.”
“I had a fairly clear idea what the album was going to be like based on where I was emotionally at the time,” he says about Under The Weather. “I just try to make music that is honest about how I’m feeling.”
