,: 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 ':
