“Saint” is a deeply emotive track from newcomers PEAKES

PEAKES and especially their enigmatic front woman Molly Puckering, have all the makings of pop monoliths in waiting. New cut “Saint” is a perfect demonstration of their already commanding sound that mixes dynamic instrumentation with reserved but poignant vocalisation, creating what can only be described as well-honed pop music.

Puckering is the star of the show and one can instantly hear her uncanny similarity to London Grammar’s Hanna Reid. The dynamic range and heart-breaking lyricisms build softly throughout the track, ending on a searching refrain “What’s done is done/Didn’t you tell me that once?” This is a band to be watching and noted.
