"What becomes so beautifully clear in listening to Derose sing – in that clear mountain stream, weepy-voiced way of his – is that none of his characters and none of us are ever rid of any of the people that we've shared the dark or a kiss with."
- Daytrotter
A few short months ago, Peasant was given the great privilege of playing and recording for one of the most exclusive sessions that independent music knows. And now the results of that dream have just gone live and are available for all to hear and see! Daytrotter, who is known for having helped launch and provide a creative new media outlet for emerging indie-rock bands such as Death Cab For Cutie, Of Montreal, Vampire Weekend, Tokyo Police Club, Spoon, and A Place To Bury Strangers (just to name a few) recorded 4 of the best Peasant songs, 2 of which are brand new and unreleased in any other form.
Peasant also kicked off his current tour by heading to Clifton, NJ to a remote studio to record a few live tracks as well as an exclusive interview with the innovative new company, JamNow. Check it out at Jamnow.com/peasant!
These sessions align themselves perfectly with Peasant's current tour (full tour dates below) and upcoming WOXY session, all leading into the official re-launch of Peasant's album, "On The Ground", out in late January with Team Love helping out with marketing and distribution.
