Homeshake

Toronto-based singer/songwriter Peter Sagar makes R&B-influenced indie pop under the name Homeshake. Homeshake’s songs are often inspired by smooth soul and R&B but with a lo-fi, home-recorded aesthetic. The project made its proper debut with the guitar-based In the Shower in 2014. Subsequent albums such as 2019’s Helium incorporated more electronics and experimentation, and 2021’s Under the Weather brought back some of the analog touches of Sagar’s earlier work. 2024’s Horsie, Written and recorded at his home studio in Toronto, it explores Sagar’s complicated feelings about returning to live performance. Homeshake is relaxing music.
