▌░ Unlike most of us, Peter Sagar ù also known as HOMESHAKE ù ░▐
▌░ was staying at home a lot, long before the pandemic. Sagar ░▐
▌░ wrote the majority of his fifth studio album, Under the ░▐
▌░ Weather, in 2019, when he was going through a long, ░▐
▌░ unrelenting period of sadness. ôI was in a deep, deep ░▐
▌░ depression,ö he recalls of that time period now. ôTours were ░▐
▌░ breaking me. It was awful.ö Sagar and his partner were living ░▐
▌░ in Montreal and while everyone was out being social, he was ░▐
▌░ inside listening to ambient music, binging Star Trek, and ░▐
▌░ writing songs. (Sound familiar?) ôIt was a bit of a dark ░▐
▌░ pit,ö he says. ôThatÆs kind of what the whole album is ░▐
▌░ about.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Under the Weather follows SagarÆs life and the depression ░▐
▌░ that consumed him in 2019 ù after a brief album intro, it ░▐
▌░ jumps right into ôFeel Better,ö a reflection on attempting to ░▐
▌░ buck up when the weather outside is grim. The album is hazy ░▐
▌░ and moody, the pace slow as syrup, and from beginning to end, ░▐
▌░ a fog falls over every synth and guitar line. In ôInaminit,ö ░▐
▌░ Sagar cancels plans when heÆs feeling low; the closing track, ░▐
▌░ ôTenterhooks,ö sees SagarÆs deliverance into the depths of ░▐
▌░ despair: ôFeel myself drying up / feel myself turn into ░▐
▌░ dust,ö he sings over a funhouse mirror synth. ôOftentimes ░▐
▌░ when youÆre in a dark place, youÆre supposed to journal and ░▐
▌░ that helps release the pressure,ö Sagar says. ôFor me, it ░▐
▌░ always found its way into the music.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Capturing the cloudy sound of a depressive funk was no simple ░▐
▌░ feat, especially in the headspace Sagar was in for over a ░▐
▌░ year. For that reason, he decided to enlist his friend, Jerry ░▐
▌░ PaperÆs Lucas Nathan, to help with production on the record. ░▐
▌░ Having Nathan contribute helped Sagar dial back some of ôdry, ░▐
▌░ pristine digital soundö that defined his fourth studio album, ░▐
▌░ Helium, and add back personal analog touches that drew people ░▐
▌░ to the HOMESHAKE project in the first place. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ ôI didnÆt realize how much I missed having a second set of ░▐
▌░ ears. ItÆs pretty invaluable,ö Sagar says. He would send all ░▐
▌░ the of tracks back and forth with Nathan over the course of ░▐
▌░ 2019, which made the process a longer one than he was used ░▐
▌░ to. ôThere are a lot of things that I probably wouldn't have ░▐
▌░ done that Lucas did do. I would tend to do a lot of softening ░▐
▌░ of things, a lot of making everything super bassy and gentle. ░▐
▌░ Lucas was aware that sometimes you needed some punch and ░▐
▌░ grit.ö To Sagar, those additions made the record what it is ù ░▐
▌░ a melodic, honest look at personal emotional struggle. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ As Sagar readies it for release this September, the record he ░▐
▌░ wrote about feeling isolated, alone, and despondent has begun ░▐
▌░ to seem eerily prescient. ôPeople will probably think that I ░▐
▌░ made Under the Weather during or about Covid,ö Sagar reflects ░▐
▌░ now. ôI was just already living my life that way.ö For Sagar, ░▐
▌░ the feelings he experienced over the course of that year are ░▐
▌░ far from over ù ôIÆve been writing about feeling isolated my ░▐
▌░ whole life,ö he says ù but with age, he has come to ░▐
▌░ understand them better. ôI had a fairly clear idea what the ░▐
▌░ album was going to be like based on where I was emotionally ░▐
▌░ at the time,ö he says about Under the Weather. ôI just try to ░▐
▌░ make music that is honest about how IÆm feeling.ö ░▐
