LUCY PEACH
The “wonderfully engaging and tremendously gifted performer” (AU Review) Lucy Peach has once again returned to the studio. The new single new Be So Good, features the organic, acoustic instrumentation that first made her so beloved by Perth audiences- the perfect accompaniment to her “pitch-perfect voice” (The Music) and disarmingly earnest songwriting.

Released in the Spring of 2011, Peach’s debut EP Wax and Wane was welcomed to much acclaim and anticipation. Recorded by Malcolm Clark (Sleepy Jackson) at Yo Yo Studios, the release saw the artist added to coveted Perth lineups including Beaufort Street Festival (2012)  and Hidden Treasures (2013). A captured live performance of her song Golden Days from a Sofar Sounds event in 2013 has stacked up an impressive 40 000 views and adoring remarks through the global platform, confirming this local darling as a world class act to be reckoned with.

Soaring wherever the wind takes her, Lucy has toured internationally to her Father’s home ground in New Zealand, and has recently returned from supporting the inimitable Mama Kin on the Irish leg of her September 2015 tour. Her songwriting and live presence has won the approval of fellow musicians and industry, supporting the eclectic likes of Tim Finn, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, Abbe May, Tim Rogers and Dave Graney in the last few years.

Recorded by Joel Quartermain at Wasteland Studios, the new Single Be So Good saw Lucy Peach accompanied by Lee Jones (The Sun Orchestra, Ruby Boots, Eskimo Joe, Sleepy Jackson, Spencer Tracy) on pedal steel, piano and is described as a talisman in the studio by Peach. The release boasts a music video to match, filmed by the inspiration behind the song itself, Richard Berney. The video was captured throughout a year of Lucy singing the song to him across Australia and New Zealand - and incidentally culminated in an off-camera marriage proposal. A true sentiment to the honest and heartwarming songwriting she is known and loved for, Lucy Peach is set to release a follow-up EP to the new track later in Summer.
