HOMESHAKE — the long-running solo project of Toronto-based musician Peter Sagar — shares the new single/video, “Simple,” from his second album of 2024, Horsie, out June 28th via SHHOAMKEE. It’s a track about what happens when you begin to buckle under life’s pressures and slip into a depressive state, and turn to self-medication to ease the stress. The video for “Simple,” directed by Jim Larson, follows lead single, “Nothing 2 See,” and is the second part of a trilogy of videos for Horsie, with Peter changing form as he steals a car in a panic, and is pursued by a mysterious man riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
The video explores themes of paranoia and anxiety, and how close they can be looming at any given time. “Amazing cameos from dear friends, I appreciate them very much,” says Peter. “The sequel to the previous video, Jim did such a good job revealing it. Anxiety and paranoia are close friends of mine.”
Pre-orders for Horsie is available here.
