Peach on a beach releases video for "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree"

Originally released on streaming in December 2023, a new YouTube video for "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" has been created for the 2024 holiday season to celebrate my festive tribute to a small artificial tree from my first Christmas in Clare, back in 1998.

I made the video with VideoProc using free clips from Pexels and shooting a few shots from around the basement. To create a nostalgic vibe, I added a retro TV filter and fuzzy transitions to evoke going back in time. 

If you watch the video long enough, you'll see some old Polaroid photos from my (and wife Joelle's) childhood holidays with our families during the 1970s and 80s.

Poignant lyrics recall childhood memories as melancholic vocals blend with uplifting synths riffs, bells and piano to create a nostalgic soundscape. 

Some 25 plus years later, I still hold on to the ragged yet symbolic "Charlie Brown” Christmas tree, now embraced by my wife Joelle who sings soothing backing vocals.

For a detailed review of the single and video, I invite you to read this blog article by Dulaxi based in the United States.

Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for a new single coming winter 2025. Like the last few years, I'll be taking some extra time off from my day job over the Christmas break to tweak a few demos and plan for the next release. 

Peach on a beach releases “Clock is Ticking", an electropop song about climate change

New release October 4, 2024: “Clocks Ticking" by Peach on a beach (Larry Peach).

The third single from my upcoming album All Over the Map is a playful song with an important message.

The electropop song about climate change will have you questioning your place in the universe while simultaneously dancing your worries away. 

Hypnotic synths and a captivating video remind listeners that lessons learned in geology and geography classes are still relevant today.  

Shout-outs to Shawn from Greenlight Studios for a fun video shoot in the classroom and on the beach and to Paul from The Music Box Recording Studio in Clare for his adept mixing and mastering!

Peach releases spring single "Zooming In", a tribute to maps

New release May 3, 2024: “Zooming In" by Peach on a beach (Larry Peach) is a hip hop, synthpop, over the top tribute to Peach's lifelong love of maps and a tongue-in-cheek take on how their use has changed over time. 

Essential listening for geography nerds and technophiles.

Peach releases "Rabbit Hole" as first single in 2024

Compared to his whimsical debut, the first single from Peach on a beach’s upcoming sophomore album All Over the Map hints at exploring more contemporary themes.

“Rabbit Hole” is a detour to the dark side, a reminder about the futility of arguing with online. 

The dark wave song is also an homage to The Cure, one of my biggest influences from the 80’s. Hypnotic synths and heavy percussion accompany ominous lyrics and vocals, reminiscent of alternative artists of the era.

"Rabbit Hole" is also the first single I mixed and mastered in my home studio.

I wanted to create a trippy music video to promote the single -- click link below to watch on YouTube.
