Orville Peck is the masked cowboy of alternative country, a singer who keeps his face hidden behind a mask and keeps the focus squarely on the voice: a deep, unhurried baritone that feels like it rolled in from the jukeboxes of the Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison years. Sub Pop put out his debut, Pony, in 2019, and it's a dusty, reverb-soaked record where the guitars twang, shimmer and occasionally dissolve into a shoegaze haze. "Dead of Night" and "Turn to Hate" set the mood: lonesome, cinematic and delivered with a showman's wink.
The Show Pony EP came the next year, and in 2022 Bronco went bigger and brasher, with "The Curse of the Blackened Eye" and "Daytona Sand" pushing the rockabilly and the drama up front. After stepping away for a self-imposed break in 2023, he came back in 2024 with Stampede, where "Death Valley High" kept the widescreen twang rolling. Along the way he picked up the Libera Award for Best Breakthrough Artist.
