Peasant
Peasant is the work of Damien DeRose, an American songwriter, singer, and producer, born on September 23, 1985. DeRose sings of the hopes and fears associated with life and love like a more optimistic version of Elliott Smith. Along with Spin Magazine, Daytrotter, CMJ and others, NPR raves, “when armed with a guitar, DeRose makes music that beckons and calls out, as if demanding to be heard. DeRose also has a secret weapon: a voice that seems to expose his very soul.” Magnet Magazine adds “DeRose’s vocals float above acoustic guitar melodies, evoking the lyrical eloquence and delicate arrangements.
