London beatnik L.A. Peach drops ominous ballad with “I Can Remember Where You Are”

In stark contrast to his previous enervated and hazy offerings, Welsh-born John James Davies, aka L.A. Peach, is back with a more sinister and foreboding sound.

You could be forgiven for thinking that “I Can Remember Where You Are” is another bleeding heart love song – twanging guitars and brusque vocals aplenty, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find something a lot more unusual and ominous.

In a scene that could easily form part of a Killing Eve storyline; Davies explains that “it’s a song about love – a person loves another person so much that he kidnaps her and steals her skin… the scariest part is I remember staring into my partner’s eyes as we sat on the bed whilst I wrote it.”

Urgent and calculous yet ultimately still melodic and soulful, strident strumming accompanies Davies’ unique raconteur capabilities in a similar vein to Father John Misty and Kurt Vile, and follows a bunch of shows with the likes of Trudy and the Romance, Walt Disco and Drugdealer.
