Peach releases spring single "Zooming In", a tribute to maps


New release May 3, 2024: “Zooming In" by Peach on a beach (Larry Peach) is a hip hop, synthpop, over the top tribute to Peach's lifelong love of maps and a tongue-in-cheek take on how their use has changed over time. 

Essential listening for geography nerds and technophiles.

So yours truly plays an old school goofball in a light-hearted video about my passion for geography, maps and nostalgia. 


Thanks to Shawn from Greenlight Studios for shooting the footage and to Paul from The Music Box Recording Studio in Clare for the fab mixing and mastering!   




Stay tuned for more new singles in the upcoming months!

Peach releases "Rabbit Hole" as first single in 2024


Compared to his whimsical debut, the first single from Peach on a beach’s upcoming sophomore album All Over the Map hints at exploring more contemporary themes.

“Rabbit Hole” is a detour to the dark side, a reminder about the futility of arguing with online. 

The dark wave song is also an homage to The Cure, one of my biggest influences from the 80’s. Hypnotic synths and heavy percussion accompany ominous lyrics and vocals, reminiscent of alternative artists of the era.

"Rabbit Hole" is also the first single I mixed and mastered in my home studio.

I wanted to create a trippy music video to promote the single -- click link below to watch on YouTube.  




Stay tuned for more new singles in the upcoming months!

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree released on December 1

 

I decided to make a holiday song thanks to a suggestion from a co-worker in late 2022. Last Christmas break I started creating the song and writing lyrics then continued to work on it throughout the year.

"Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" is a festive tribute to a small artificial tree from my first Christmas away from home. 

Poignant lyrics recall childhood memories as melancholic vocals blend with uplifting synths riffs, bells and piano to create a nostalgic soundscape. 

Some 25 years later, I still hold on to the ragged yet symbolic “Charlie Brown” Christmas tree, now embraced by my wife Joelle who sings soothing backing vocals.




Watch for a music video coming soon!

Hope you enjoy my first holiday tune. Over the Christmas break I'll be tweaking a few demos for new singles coming in 2024.
