Bronco - Orville Peck (2022)

ideated from: some new releases I’ve been into lately

Orville Peck performs in a mask, and doesn’t really talk about who he is or where he comes from. It might be to protect how openly queer his persona is, both in interviews and lyrics. It might just be to create some mystique. It doesn’t change how good a singer he is, though, or how great it is to hear someone really working at reviving classic 50s and 60s country.

He can wear as many masks as he wants. Just keep making records like this one.

Tracks I Liked

The Curse of the Blackened Eye - srsly i could listen to this all day. This will almost certainly end up as one of my most-listened-to tracks on spotify at the end of the year

Outta Time - a little more expansive and fun. Just as great.

C’mon Baby, Cry - Really should be ruling country music radio.

Bronco - see above

Blush - see above

Any Turn - see above. Ok i’ll stop now.
