With his self-proclaimed “homoerotic cowboy pop”, Orville Peck is shifting expectations of country music from behind his fringed leather mask. “Big Sky” could be plucked straight from a Tarantino soundtrack, with rattlesnakes and wind-gusts breezing under Peck's rich baritone vocals, slinking over exquisitely tranquil guitars and sparsely atmospheric banjos.

Peck's new “enigmatic cowboy anti-hero" project is drawn from a genuine and deep-rooted love for country music. Although it's part performance-art, his music is anything but a Brokeback Mountain-esque gimmick.

“Big Sky” is out now via Sub Pop, and Orville Peck will release his debut LP next year. Catch him live in London on 28^th February at The Islington, 1^st March at Servant Jazz Quarters and 2^nd March at The Shacklewell Arms. Find Orville Peck on Facebook.
