“There’s a sense of despondency on [Heat], with Sagar sounding vulnerable and bare.” – Consequence of Sound
“Sagar just nails some phenomenally evocative choruses. He puts this really languid, lazy spin on the tightness that the rhythm sort of demands from the vocals. It makes you feel like you’re falling asleep, only to keep waking up a couple of seconds after each time.” – 4ZZZ FM
“A jetlagged piece of lift-jazz meets drone-pop.” – DIY Mag
“Midnight Snack plays like a trip back to the woozy, lust-fuelled R&B of the '90s.” – Exclaim!
“[Heat] is an instantly enveloping track that breathes just a touch of life into a chilly soundscape.” – Diffuser.fm
“Indie-pop comfort food.” – SPIN
“I want to slow dance with a beautiful woman to this album, in its entirety.” – Someone on Facebook
“Like jogging through an Alaskan oil field late at night, whilst the Borealis twinkles above, all psychedelic.” – Someone on Youtube
December – while we’re poising our selves for the midnight snacks that go hand in hand with the festive season and its endless late nights, Christmas parties and festivals, one Canadian is poising himself to bring his Midnight Snack to Australia for the first time.
Growing up in the freezing cold winter of Edmonton Alberta, Peter Sagar moved to the freezing cold winter of Montreal Quebec where he joined Mac DeMarco as his long-standing and endured a dizzying time of touring on the back of Rock and Roll Night Club and 2.
His side-project of Homeshake burst into view in 2014 with the release of his debut album In The Shower. As Homeshake took off though, Sagar reflected on the loneliness that plagued him and longed for life back home in Montreal, he broke away from those goof gods to work away on his own, beautifully tape-warped take on indie- pop and focus on rebuilding the infrastructure of his life.
His newest, and sophomore album Midnight Snack, released earlier this year via Strange Yonder in Australia, is a smooth record designed for maximum relaxation, and the perfect accompaniment to arriving home late at night, slightly intoxicated. It was recorded in the winter of 2015 at The Drones Club in Montreal with help from Jackson Macintosh.
