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.
Fans of Elliott Smith, Bon Iver, and Simon and Garfunkel will all find something to love within. Maybe you want to curl up in your bedroom on a cold, rainy day or spend some quality time with that special someone, Peasant provides the perfect soundtrack.
His latest album, On The Ground, was re-released through Paper Garden Records in January of 2009, and he has been drawing critical acclaim throughout the internet since.
