HOMESHAKE is the solo project of Peter Sagar, who pairs falsetto vocals with synth-heavy pop arrangements that show the influence of smooth ’80s-era R&B.
• Sagar began making music as HOMESHAKE in 2012. He released a pair of cassettes in 2013 while playing guitar and keyboards in Mac DeMarco’s live band.
• HOMESHAKE’s first official album, In the Shower, came out in 2014 after Sagar had left DeMarco’s band to focus on his own music.
• Though HOMESHAKE is mostly a solo effort, Mark Goetz, Greg Napier of Sheer Agony, and Brad Loughead of Nap Eyes have also contributed.
• After working in recording studios on HOMESHAKE’s first three LPs, Sagar made the fourth, 2019’s Helium, in his apartment in Montreal.
