Vancouver quartet Peach Pit will release their fourth album, Magpie, October 25th via Columbia. The band also shared the title track, accompanied by an action packed new video. Watch it HERE.

“As Vancouver was slipping into winter, Melbourne was heading into summer and the birds were everywhere,” recalls lead singer/guitarist Neil Smith. “It was the magpies that caught my attention. I’m not sure what it was about them – maybe it was just the name that I liked.” 

 “I liked the idea that the magpie is neither good nor bad,” he says. “Or, maybe it’s both –  it just depends on how many you find. It reminded me of the record we were trying to make – the days of doubt after strumming the same four chords without a good melody, followed by the days of writing something worthwhile and biking home on a high. Magpie symbolizes the heartbreak that led to many of the songs we were writing, as well as the new love that inspired the others. The year it had taken to make Magpie had been full of ups and downs – constantly changing and leaving the good for the bad and the bad for the good, just like the songs on the record.”

Magpie is the follow-up to Peach Pit’s 2022 album, From 2 to 3.
