"Peaches" took the long road. American band In the Valley Below first put it out on the Peaches EP in 2013, brought it back as a single from the Man Girl EP in May 2014, and finally gave it a permanent home on their debut full-length, The Belt. Angela Gail Mattson and Jeffrey Jacob Mendel share the writing credit.
Billboard heard synth-driven pop tangled up with darker folk, Spin filed it under synth folk, and PopMatters likened its guitar and keyboard tones to Depeche Mode's "Strangelove". What really lit the fuse was a dance remix by Bloc Party's Kele Okereke, which also landed on Man Girl, and the slow burn paid off in 2016, when the song climbed to 18 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.
