On October 25 Vancouver four-piece Peach Pit will release their new album, Magpie. The LP is a masterclass in expansive arrangement and deeply felt songwriting—a winning formula that only continues the incredible trajectory the band’s been on since their star-making debut EP Sweet FA in 2016. The eleven songs captured on Magpie find the quartet—lead singer Neil Smith, guitarist Chris Vanderkooy, bassist Peter Wilton, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi—diving deeper into classic sounds while honing a musical style that entirely feels like their own. Today the band shares the shimmering new single “Every Little Thing,” a quintessential Peach Pit gem, featuring sunny vocals, lusciously loopy guitars, and an ear-worm chorus, reminiscent of the six-stringed heroics on George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass.
Lead singer, Neil Smith, says of the track “I wrote this song after taking a tab of acid. I was experiencing a lot of writers’ block and wanted to shake things up, so I sat down on my couch with my guitar, took the tab and set out my pen and paper. I already had some chords I was working with and a bit of melody to start. Once the acid kicked in, I started writing as though the devil was talking to me. It sounds rather ominous, but the song I wrote is more tongue-in-cheek than anything. In the end, the song is loosely a conversation between me and this devil character who meets me in hell, offers me a drink, and says that he’s been expecting me.” Listen/share “Every Little Thing” here.
