Peach Pit, a Canadian pop-rock band, released “You and your friends” on April 3, 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. Unable to tour and quarantined within their own homes, the four-membered band didn’t have the chance to properly celebrate their sophomore album’s release, and not only was it a sophomore album, it was their first album under a major label. Instead, they took the silence of the shut down world and got to work filling their time with even more writing, and soon after, Peach Pit would turn out another album. From bits and pieces, loose guitar riffs and uncommitted vocal recordings, “From 2 to 3” was born.
In an interview with Ones to Watch, Peach Pit explained that the new album has a lot of influence from their favorite artists from quarantine, including “George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Neil Young; that kind of stuff.”
One of the most distinguishing things about Peach Pit is their ability to incorporate a soft 70s guitar sound and pair it with sharp melodies. Tracks like “Vickie” and “Give Up Baby Go” are great examples of Peach Pit’s pacing and sound.
This album definitely didn’t venture anywhere new for the band, but from a production standpoint, Peach Pit took a step back and stripped down their sound even more and limited the effects from vocals to guitar. “We set out to make a record like this because of all the oldies we were listening to at the time. We wanted that good clean tone, baby!” (Ones to Watch)
All in all, “From 2 to 3” is an amazing addition to Peach Pit’s discography. It has a great feel and even better sound that is refreshing in a nostalgic way, thanks to the fact that “dad music” was the main inspiration for the album. As for the future of Peach Pit, they have no clear vision yet for their next album, but they have plenty of material to tour with.
