Genre: Country
Sound: Peck’s butter-smooth baritone glides over Americana riffs and old-West instrumentation
If you like: Father John Misty, Murder By Death, Spaghetti Westerns
Why you should listen: Orville Peck’s Western heartthrob vocals and campy queer twist on the country genre have made him one of the coolest, weirdest and most irresistible artists on the scene right now. His latest album doubles down on Western imagery and cinematic pastiche to be more Orville than anything before.
Best track: C’mon Baby, Cry
