Nü Sensae, Eat Your Mind from Sundowning (2012).

Have you heard of queer country singer Orville Peck? His been releasing songs since 2019, but since I don’t listen to country music I’d never heard of him… until today when I came across some nude photos of him. They weren’t selfies leaked by a former boyfriend, but rather campy nudes inspired by vintage physique photos.

His style is a kind of country pop. One of his gimmick has been to wear a leather mask over his eyes. He also had fringe covering the lower part of his face. But over time the fringe got shorter and now he just has the eye mask.

"There's nothing wrong with being a straight white man making country music. But like, babe, we've heard it. we've heard about the truck!"

Peck is originally from South Africa but is currently based in Canada and the US. He performed under his real name Daniel Pitout with a punk band called Nü Sensae. Fans eventually figured out Pitout and Peck were the same person due to his tattoos.

Digging further, I learned he’ll soon be releasing an album of duets with music stars such as Kylie Minogue and Elton John. But the most interesting song is a duet with Willie Nelson. A link to the song is below… it’s all about gay cowboys. I may buy in album just to support a gay artist breaking boundaries.

Here’s a link to a video of Peck and Nelson’s very gay song about Cowboys!
