Peached Shares New Single ‘Movie Star’
Hailing from the west coast of Scotland, Peached are a three-piece rock band who are garnering a reputation for creating lively headbangers that pack a punch. They return with their latest single ‘Movie Star’.
Having released music since 2021, Peached has gradually built up a loyal fanbase. Known for their live performances the band has performed throughout Scotland, performing at legendary venues such as King Tuts and The Garage, captivating fans with their energetic performances.
The disco-pop-infused offering has an infectious production that features bass, drums, and guitars. The vibrant production of ‘Movie Star’ is paired with flavourful vocals that will draw the listener in immediately. The groove was inspired by Nile Rodgers. Peached imagined themselves at a disco in the late 70s, meeting someone, having fun, and falling madly in love.
On the release, Peached comments, “It’s a song that can always turn my mood around. It is inspired by a true story, but I came up with the disco setting and the whole track changed but the feeling remains true.”
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
