2 days ago7 min read

The masked maestro of alternative country, Orville Peck, has announced a new seven-track EP titled 'Appaloosa,' scheduled for release in November. The project's lead single, the wistful 'Drift Away,' is available now, offering the first glimpse into this next chapter of his evolving musical narrative.Peck, known for his baritone vocals and enigmatic persona, continues to build his unique world where classic country grandeur meets a queer, cinematic sensibility. The EP's title, referencing the hardy and distinctive spotted horse breed, hints at themes of endurance and travel, perfectly complementing the solitary mood of the lead single.This release follows his critically acclaimed albums 'Pony' and the more expansive 'Bronco,' and the choice of an EP format suggests a focused, conceptual collection rather than a sprawling album. For a genre that Peck has helped redefine, 'Appaloosa' is poised to be a significant autumn event, promising another deeply immersive journey down the lonesome trails he so masterfully creates.
