EIC'S10Q'S w/Rebecca Peake
"..Dream Pop is the easiest way of putting it I suppose, but you could also say Indie Rock-Electronic-Ambient-Bizarro-Spacey awesomeness.."

Rebecca Peake Bio:
Rebecca Peake isn't a girl, but rather group of musicians working together to put out a song a day for a year. Most of the songs are done by James Webster, and his musical cohort of tech honors. Their sound can vary almost every other day from Shoegaze/Dream Pop to Indie Rock to Ambient Space Bliss and everything else in between. Currently the band has three albums (all of which are FREE on their bandcamp). And yes, those albums are on top of all the songs they will release everyday for one whole year.
Hello, how are you?
Fantastic, and overwhelmed! You'd be surprised how hard a song-a-day project can hit your social life.
What are you currently listening to?
Oh there's been a lot of great stuff coming out recently. One of my all time favorites, The Caretaker, just put out a new album called "An Empty Bliss Beyond This World" - sampled loops of ballroom music and early jazz manipulated to simulate a mind fading into Alzheimer's. The new Kreng album, "Grimoire" is amazing too - albeit so intensely dark it's almost a caricature. Ludicrously brooding - but really really irresistible. And of course ELO. Always ELO...
Care to elaborate on the name?
Rebecca Peake is, well, my name. Not given name, but a pseudonym formed by combining two of the key influences in starting the song-a-day project. One part an author known for a hyper-descriptive style, who had an ambition to write a book that followed nearly every day of a person's life. The other part is a musician, famous for dry lyrics focusing on all the mundane actions and decisions of a single day.
When/where did you get idea for the "366" concept?
Well I had the idea in March, but knew that it would have to start at the beginning of a month. So the first song, "Smile, Philadelphia!" ended up being written and posted on April fools day. I guess I like the idea of instead of a perfect 365 song cycle, it would be a weird 366 - all thrown off balance by a song posted for a day known for pranks. 366 also looks like it might be some sort of satanic code too...
What's your favorite track of Rebecca's so far?
It's a little hard to choose just one! Favorites include In The Park, She Is Losing Her Memory, The Reconstruction, Corner Of The Universe, Is This It... just too many great ones!
Will you be touring for all of these releases?
Yes, eventually. Maybe after the 366 song cycle, maybe before. For now just keeping up with the songs everyday is exhausting enough, the shows are coming though!
If you could collaborate with any artist of your choosing whom would it be with?
Julia Hummer. The voice... a bleak honestly filled with rich, rounded edges of shadow. It sounded incredible against the Shoegaze guitars on Pluramon's "The Monstorous Surplus" - really giving Julee Cruise a run for her money. I think she's retired now or something, but the world is empty without her voice.
The best time to listen to Rebecca Peake is ______?
on the way to a kill.
You can only keep/listen to ONE album for the rest of your life ..which album would it be?
"Loveless"? Yeah, "Loveless" - OR The Caretaker's "Stairway To The Stars". Those albums have more depth than Mariner Valley - infinite bliss. Or, of course, my new RP album "Dalmation II" is available now:)!
Are you living your dream?
Every single day. I'm floating.
Thanx James!

REVIEW: Rebecca Peake - The World's Strongest
9 out of 10Rebecca Peake has only existed for about a year now. With three full length albums, and over 150 (eventually 366) other random tracks, my friends, to say they’re prolific would be a bit of an understatement. When it came to choosing which piece of their music to review it was kind of a toss up, I honestly love all their albums pretty equally. I decided to start with the one I started on, which is their second album “The World’s Strongest”. From the very beginning of the album your attention will be “peake’d” and when it ends you may just have to cry or wet yourself (yes, it‘s “pee yourself quality” goodness).
Where do I even start with this project? How do I explain such a complex genre bounding enigma? First off let me set the record straight, although I have been referencing to the band as a “them” “it” is actually more of a “him”. James Webster is the master mind behind the entire project, of course he has lots of help when it comes to recording end of things, but he is the guy behind the pretty Rembrandt painted face. Rebecca Peake is not a real girl, but more of a chosen pseudo name referencing to two of James’ biggest mentors (one an author, the author a musician). When it comes to the writing portion of it, I just can’t wrap my head around a guy who can write one new song a day FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR (+the 3 LP’s!!) and not produce at least one “lame” track! In-case you haven’t been following this band they have a project called “366” which is where Ms. Peake releases a new song every day for an entire year. The thing is though, every song, EVERY song he’s put out has been worth listening to, not one felt like a filler. The talent just keeps blooming and blossoming every other day. The genre? Well.. Dream Pop is the easiest way of putting it I suppose, but you could also say Indie Rock-Electronic-Ambient-Bizarro-Spacey awesomeness. When the album starts you think you know where this band is about to take you, but you have no idea. The course quickly changes into something dark, and then something bittersweet, and then something spacey, and then to something weird and most importantly beautiful. The process of hearing it all unfold is quite elegant if I do say so myself. Every genre wraps and intertwines perfectly around each other. With it’s fair share of head nodders, hip wigglers, and shoe gazings is it too soon to ask, “James, are you a perfectionist?”? Perhaps some supreme being from another dimension with an eye from a distant future? How do you write all of these amazing songs and not tire?? I just can’t find a flaw in anything you’re doing right now, please don’t stop (please don’t stop).
If you don’t get this you will hate yourself eternally (plus I will hate you). To those that know of her majesty you know what to do when I say bow to Rebecca’s alluring & enchanting powers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED(x366+3LPs).
Standout Tracks: O WOW. ALL. ESPECIALLY!!: Gemini Rupture (G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S-.-)

Rebecca Peake is one of the most interesting/experimental Dream Pop(?) bands I've ever heard. This is the realm (assuming it does actually exist) that exists between M83 and Gang Gang Dance.
