“Nothing Fades Like The Light” comes from Peck’s critically acclaimed debut album Ponyand was recently featured on HBO’s hit show “Watchmen.” After selling out every UK & North American performance in 2019, Peck will continue to tour throughout 2020 with shows in Australia & the US.

Adding to his breakout year, Peck was recently the first country artist to be on the cover of GQ Style and was also featured on the cover of the inaugural issue of the Harper’s Bazaar Men’s issue alongside Travis Scott and J. Balvin, curated by Dior Homme. Most recently, Peck performed at the Dior Homme Men’s Fall 2020 launch last week at Art Basel.

Since the release of Pony this past March via Sub Pop Records, the enigmatic country star has garnered widespread attention across the world as well as extensive critical acclaim from NPR’s “Morning Edition,” NPR Music, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Vogue, The Guardian, The Fader, the Los Angeles Times and many more. Continuing his landmark year, Peck recently collaborated with jewellery designer Pamela Love for a special limited edition “Orville Peck” ring.

Praise for Orville Peck:

“Orville Peck’s Pony might be the most engaging and eerie album to come along in quite some time. With a haunting croon that adds to the mystique, Peck mixes a classic country sensibility with nostalgic ballads and a contemporary gothic vibe.” - NPR

“The priapic “Dead of Night” is Roy Orbison’s “I Drove All Night” if it had a Grindr profile or The Ballad of Buster Scruggs with John Waters behind the lens. We love it so much we might cry.” [“Dead of Night” / Tracks of the Week] - The Guardian

“This collection of shoegaze-tinged melodies paired with classic American-country vocals captures Peck’s admiration of country greats like Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash, with a hint of ‘80s glam and grunge.” - PAPER

“Pony makes for a compelling introduction to this self-anointed country star.” [50 Best Albums of 2019 So Far] - Billboard

“Peck distinguishes himself by imbuing the deeply-rooted sound with emotional dissonance, shadowy flares of shoegaze-y guitars, cinematic crescendos, and vocals that combine the love-sickness of Roy Orbison with the menacing gravel of Johnny Cash.“ - The 405

“His music is bursting with personality, a 21st century-ready re-imagining of the classic outlaw country tradition.” - Loud & Quiet

"It’s a country record, built out of broken-glass heartbreak, tearful melodies, and sweeping, deserted drama, wandering from one blackened torch song to the next." - THE FADER

“The priapic “Dead of Night” is Roy Orbison’s “I Drove All Night” if it had a Grindr profile or The Ballad of Buster Scruggs with John Waters behind the lens. We love it so much we might cry.” [“Dead of Night” / Tracks of the Week] - The Guardian

“Though his sound remembers a particular era of country music, Orville Peck’s Pony is sentimentally everlasting, and a tender reminder that a mask can reveal more than it hides.” [9/10] - The 405
“With Pony, Orville Peck has put himself in the boxing ring for his own ’68 Comeback Special.” [8.5/10] - The Line Of Best Fit

“The familiar tropes of nomadic wrangler life are present--trusty steed, blood-red sunsets--but, refreshingly, the masculine cliches are not. Instead, the country-rocker concentrates on intimacy, tenderness and ambiguity.” [8/10] - Uncut

"As part of a long history of rockers going genre, most famously with glammy New York Dolls frontman David Johansen’s totally 80s transformation to lounge lizard Buster Poindexter, Peck gladly immerses willing listeners in his weird, Southern-fried world." - VICE

“It’s a country record, built out of broken-glass heartbreak, tearful melodies, and sweeping, deserted drama, wandering from one blackened torch song to the next.” - THE FADER

“His music is bursting with personality, a 21st century-ready re-imagining of the classic outlaw country tradition.” - Loud & Quiet

“Utterly seductive.” - MOJO
