    INFO: Homeshake is the RnB-pop and solo-project of the Montreal-based singer-songwriter Peter Sagar. The project was formed in 2012, but although he wanted to do his own thing Peter spent a lot of time supporting Mac DeMarco as a part of his live. In 2014 Peter left and decided to make Homeshake into something more serious. They’ve released 3 albums so far and had close to 1 million monthly listeners on spotify when this video was made.

    your research is lacking. Many infos that you could've found we're left out. Like the studio where he was recording and who he was recording with. Theses infos are all available and are a big part of what Homeshake is. Especially the guy (Jackson Macintosh) who helped record the first 3 albums at the studio (that was called Silver Doors at the time, and then got shut down and re-opened with the name Drones Club) oh and in an interview Peter talks about the fact that every single day he'll make a new song. He actually never stop. Not a slacker.

  • @jacobjenn1

    I love how he kinda based his music off of how his vibe is irl , like he’s a homebody so a lot of his music sounds like something you would play at home on a chill day with loved ones . As for his voice I personally believe Peters vocals aren’t bad there’s a lot of artist who have kind of weird raspy vocals but I feel like if you have decent vocals and lyrics to go along with an amazing instrumental you made then it makes up for it most of the time . And last thing is I truly believe bro is not a slacker he most definitely puts in a lot of time in his craft and probably has over 1000s of songs he did not release and he seems like he loves the craft a lot so he’s just one of those artist that like to take their time and really think what their album vibe is gonna be , what it represents , how he will rollout the album , and if he feel like it matches how they’ve felt

      Never took him for a “slacker” or a “indie rocker” or whatever, he transcends even being labeled. Way more than some indie poster boy. He’s a genius of a generation, same for Mac. Just like boomers reminisce Neil Young or Jerry Reid, I’ll be reminiscing Mockasin, Homeshake, Mac Demarco, Ariel Pink, Ty Segall etc.

    I remember when I used to play Wii Music when I was 10. My dad was like “look at you playing music! You’re gonna be a pro!” When it was literally me just clicking a button when I know to play a note. For some reason that game was kind of a catalyst for getting me hooked on music. I do enjoy music a lot now and I’m hoping to get really good at guitar and maybe get into singing too. It would be sooooo cool to make a living out of it like guys like this
