"Dead of Night" was one of the singles that carried Pony, the debut album South African country musician Orville Peck released through Sub Pop in March 2019, and it's all his: Peck wrote it and produced it himself. The record around it is country and cowboy pop shot through with goth, dream pop, shoegaze and surf, love and heartbreak told as stories, a strange, shadowy take on the Western ballad.
The song traveled with him, too: he played it live on CBC Radio One's Q in June 2019 and brought it to Jimmy Kimmel Live on January 29, 2020.
