Peasant (Damien DeRose) has released the first single, "The Flask", from his forthcoming album, Bound For Glory , due out in April 2012 on Schnitzel Records . If this song is any indication of the overall feel of Bound For Glory then we’re all in for a real treat. Truthfully, when it comes to Peasant as a singer-songwriter I feel that our ears (and any part of us that is musically connected) are in good hands. Yes, I’ll definitely be waiting for the release of Bound For Glory . I [...]

Damien DeRose, the talented singer and songwriter behind Peasant, is about to release his third album, Bound for Glory , on 4/17. The first taste we're getting is new track "The Flask," which feels a bit Elliott Smith with its whispy vocals that seem to float along with the subtle guitar and piano riffs. The music and vocals created a parallel meter and sometimes twists and turns the potent lyrics. The understated style of vocals and music make this the perfect quiet day song. http://www.facebook.com/ IamPeasant http://twitter.com/ [...]
I do love me some fine dining. I dote over jamón , I fantasize about reuniting with lobster sashimi , and I just drooled a little bit on my keyboard thinking about perfect calamari . And yet, when I think about my true favorite foods, the foods I’d happily eat day after day, they’re not on that decadent, Kosher-defying list up above. They’re good old simple comfort foods. And, quite often, foods that were once considered peasant fare. Not because they’re any less delicious, but because they’re easily accessible and usually cheap. But especially with winter around [...]
Boutique Philly noise label Peasant Magik is closing up shop. Helmed by Pillars of Heaven main man Salvatore Giorgi, the label released over a hundred cassettes, LP's, and CD-R box sets in only a few years of operation. Known for their exquisite packaging and boundless appreciation of all things DIY, Peasant Magik has been bucking the trend from the very beginning. Without this label, we would be without a document of the best outsider music America had to offer from the now-fading renaissance of noise music we witnessed this past decade. With releases from the best of loner [...]
Russian peasants were a completely separate class from the land owners and nobility, many of whom must have considered their underlings less than human. Most peasants were actually serfs – individuals owned by or legally tied to their masters – before The Peasant Reform of 1861. The first major liberal reform in Russia, it freed serfs to marry without consent and to own businesses and property. About 23 million people were affected. Yet life was still tough for the peasants. They made their living working the land or were employed in unskilled jobs. The 1905 Russian Revolution [...]
There should be laws against excessive iPhone usage at small, seated shows. World Café Live’s Upstairs venue has a quiet, settled ambiance to it: the Christmas lights, the guttering candles, the muted chatter. It’s not the sort of space that encourages much beyond polite clapping, even when it’s packed. On Tuesday night, with the room barely half-full of indifferent and furiously texting patrons, Peasant —the alias of Doylestown singer-songwriter Damien DeRose—faced a challenge just in winning the crowd attention. As it was, DeRose had to fight for recognition for the entirety of his 30-minute set, with brief [...]
As pseudonyms go, Peasant is more apt than most. If the name calls up images of rustic simplicity and peaceful, sun-soaked days, then it’s done its job. The moniker belongs to local singer-songwriter Damien DeRose, who pens dreamy, acoustic indie-pop in his home studio in Bucks County. DeRose's latest album, 2010’s Shady Retreat , is named for the street where it was recorded—and it too echoes the same aesthetic that its name evokes. For airy, romantic pop songs, look no further than Peasant. Peasant performs with A Cat Called Cricket and Matthew O'Neill [...]

After recording and self-releasing his debut album, Fear Not, Distant Lover , Derose signed to Paper Garden Records releasing his first "official" label album 2008's On the Ground to much critical acclaim which sent him and his genteel voice on national [...]
One of the best gigs I’ve been to in recent months was Japanese orchestral post-rockers Mono at Sound Control. They were excellent, but it’s the support band NASDAQ that I want to concentrate on here. On stage they were three unassuming young fellows producing something that is best described as post-rock-prog. And I was totally and properly absorbed within minutes despite or perhaps because of the lack of onstage movement or theatrics. The album Dead Peasants was purchased at half time without hesitation. What singles out NASDAQ from their contemporaries is their exquisite sensibility to timing [...]

Peasant is 24 year-old, Damien DeRose. Recording and writing in a one-bedroom apartment, he likes to eat bagels and swim in creeks (freshwater only). We like long strolls on the beach listening to his music. TDOA writer Amy talked to him about his fantastic voice and beautiful melodies. TDOA: Your aesthetic feels very breezy and vintage (to me, anyway). How would you describe Peasant’s sound? DD: I'd say I don't try to do too much, and I really think simplicity can be quite beautiful. I [...]
