Los Angeles trio ill peach have released their sophomore album ‘EAVESDROPPING‘ via Handwritten Records, alongside new single ‘RODEO‘.

The record arrives three years after their debut ‘THIS IS NOT AN EXIT‘ and marks a more personal chapter for the band, shaped in part by the death of lead singer Jess Corazza’s father in 2024. ‘RODEO‘ wraps the whole record together beautifully, woven from countless conversations about the ups and downs of life and built around the idea that you can’t always hold the reins yourself.

They are honestly one of my favourites and I’m so happy the album lived up to my high expectations. It’s such a great body of work.

Speaking about ‘RODEO’ and the album they mention:

RODEO felt like the song that wrapped up the whole album in a big red bow. Weaved together from so many conversations about the ups and downs of life, it became this symbol that life is like riding a bull. Uncontrollable. You fall, get back up, face plant in the mud and the muck, and maybe finally hold on for 8 seconds. Through Jess’s lens, and the grief she was experiencing while writing this album, it became about how little time we have and how instead of trying to hold the reins of life and guide it, sometimes you gotta let it guide you. We didn’t want the video to be too literal, so we attached that idea to the clothes we wear each day. In the video, the clothes become an invisible force pulling Jess in every direction, until finally she gives in and is swallowed up whole. Not to be corny, but if you trust whatever is helping you along the way, it will probably usually work out.

EAVESDROPPING‘ is out now via Handwritten Records.
