About the visuals Orville says, 

 

“The video was filmed on a sweaty December evening in East Los Angeles. Peck performs on a broken down stage, while a group of his friends, Caballeros & eager misfits compete for the cup in a

smoke-filled, neon bull riding contest. Special thanks to

Kareen Sandoval, Patrick McElroy, MPC New York,

Chloe Parks, Stef Albertyn and Brendan Smith.”

"Turn to Hate" is a song about Orville's struggle in keeping his resentment from building into hatred. A continuous battle between embracing the strength & freedom of being an outsider and the inevitable struggle of wanting normalcy and familiarity - Orville's dilemma as a cowboy. He sings about having to constantly repair situations in his wake, and fighting with himself over his decision making. To stay or go; to cry or not; whether to leave without saying goodbye in order to soften the blow; And all the while wishing someone would tell him that they "can't stay" - to make the decision for him.  

​

Combining the lulling ambiance of shoegaze with the iconic melodies and vocal prowess of classic American country music, outlaw cowboy, Orville Peck croons about love and loss from the badlands of North America. The resulting sound is entirely his own. He takes the listener

down desert highways, through a world where worn out gamblers, road-dogs, and lovesick

hustlers drift in and out of his masked gaze.

​

Orville’s debut album, Pony, delivers a diverse collection of stories that sing of heartbreak, revenge and the unrelenting tug of the cowboy ethos. Warm lap steel guitars and echoing drums move through dreamy ballads and sometimes near frantic buzzsaw tunes - all the while paying

homage to his country music roots.

​

On the campfire lullaby, “Big Sky,” Orville sings about his past lovers - an aloof biker, an abusive boxer and an overly protective jailor in the Florida Keys - and the inevitable demise of each one,

as he leaves them for the wide open, big sky. 

​

And “Buffalo Run” acts as a warning, a song built around the imagery of stampeding buffalo in the badlands of the Northern Plains. It’s one that begins peacefully enough but soon

transcends into a kinetic charge that crescendos as the buffalo are headed off

the cliffside.

​

Pony was produced by Orville Peck, recorded and mixed by Jordan Koop at The Noise Floor on Gabriola Island, British Columbia and mastered by Harris Newman at Grey Market Mastering in Montreal, Quebec.
