“Magpie, a project that may shape up to merge the band’s indie rock roots with the influences they began exploring on their last album…“Did You Love Somebody” further solidifies this album’s positioning as a deeply retrospective, contemplative record” – Atwood Magazine
“Surprise, surprise, we are obsessed with the newest Peach Pit song!” The Honey Pop
““Magpie” is really good jangly pop” – Riff Magazine
“It’s a powerful adjacency of sound and sentiment” – Hype
On October 25 Vancouver four-piece Peach Pit will release their new album, Magpie, via Columbia Records. The LP is a masterclass in expansive arrangement and deeply felt songwriting—a winning formula that only continues the incredible trajectory the band’s been on since their star-making debut EP Sweet FA in 2016. The eleven songs captured on Magpie find the quartet—lead singer Neil Smith, guitarist Chris Vanderkooy, bassist Peter Wilton, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi—diving deeper into classic sounds while honing a musical style that entirely feels like their own. Today the band share the shimmering new single “Every Little Thing,” a quintessential Peach Pit gem, featuring sunny vocals, lusciously loopy guitars, and an ear-worm chorus, reminiscent of the six-stringed heroics on George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass.
Lead singer, Neil Smith, says of the track “I wrote this song after taking a tab of acid. I was experiencing a lot of writers’ block and wanted to shake things up, so I sat down on my couch with my guitar, took the tab and set out my pen and paper. I already had some chords I was working with and a bit of melody to start. Once the acid kicked in, I started writing as though the devil was talking to me. It sounds rather ominous, but the song I wrote is more tongue in cheek than anything. In the end, the song is loosely a conversation between me and this devil character who meets me in hell, offers me a drink and says that he’s been expecting me.” Listen/share “Every Little Thing” here.

Peach Pit has previously shared the delicate, hand-plucked “Did You Love Somebody” and their driving lead single “Magpie.” To celebrate the album’s release the band will head out on the road for a mini East Coast run with several in-store appearances at the end of the month. The band also announced this week a massive 24-date tour of the UK and Europe for spring 2025, including a stop at the famed O2 Academy Brixton in London. This follows the announcement of a March ‘25 tour of Australia and NZ, with more dates across the globe to be announced in the coming weeks. See below for a full list of stops.

While making Magpie, Peach Pit drew inspiration from the Beatles’ classic and distinct approach to melody, as well as the multifarious sounds explored within the Fab Four’s various side projects. The end result is Peach Pit’s most sonically kaleidoscopic record yet. From the deeply felt indie-rock sound they’ve already become well-known for to the psychedelic touches that surfaced on records like You and Your Friends and From 2 to 3. “All those different pieces make us a unique band.”
The record’s distinctive title was partly inspired by witnessing flocks of magpies on tour in Australia, which served as creative inspiration for Smith’s songwriting. Back home in Vancouver, some further research led him to discover an old poem concerning the peculiar, beautiful bird: “One for sorrow, Two for luck, Three for a wedding, Four for death; Five for silver, Six for gold; Seven for a secret, Not to be told; Eight for heaven, Nine for hell, And ten for the devil’s own sell.”
“I thought it was interesting how these birds can be good and bad omens,” he explains, before elaborating on how his own decision to quit drinking years ago dovetailed with the symbolic subject matter captured on the record’s wild-eyed, guitar solo-laden title track. “I came up with this character—a person that represented the left turn I could’ve taken in my life,” Smith states. “He represented the worst-case scenario if I hadn’t stopped drinking and partying, and I connected him to that poem’s message about the good and bad in life. It all depends on which road you take.”
