Damien DeRose, also known as Peasant, is creating some of the finest ballads in the current world of indie pop. Don't let his diminuative physical stature fool you, Peasant's songs, while simple and beautiful, are not meek. Yes, soft sounds will fill the room and create natural tones perfect for reminiscing about the pleasant days of yesteryear, but there is a strength and power present at all times during his performance - a quality and confidence that resonates through the room that only a charismatic craftsman can bring.
