HOMESHAKE — the long-running solo project of Toronto-based musician Peter Sagar — to release Horsie (Deluxe), the expanded edition of his most recent 2024 album, Horsie. The third album from Sagar this year, Horsie (Deluxe) features melodic guitars over saturated drums, woozy vocals, treading indie, beats, and jazz influences. Horsie (Deluxe) comes with six new songs.

In June, HOMESHAKE presented Horsie, the follow up to March’s CD Wallet. Written and recorded at his home studio in Toronto, Horsie explored Sagar’s complicated feelings about returning to live performance. Deepening his relationship to loneliness and anxiety, the record examines those themes in the context of touring. Employing various textures influenced by artists like Four Tet and My Bloody Valentine, the rhythmic forms of D’Angelo and Sade, and moments of ambient Americana found in the works of Ry Cooder, Horsie honors Sagar’s diverse influences, yet is adrift within its own transportive imagination.
