Peasant is the musical alter ego of Damien DeRose. The timidly confident DeRose has an awe-inspiring vocal style that, coupled with a lyrical honesty and an acoustic guitar, gives him the ability to quiet any audience.

Listen and download “52 Cards” and “Caught” from Peasant, below. They’re both good, super chill and not much of a departure from Peasant’s other material. But they’re not the story.

The cool factor is that Peasant’s label, Paper Garden Records has released an entire album of B-sides and unreleased tracks from Peasant, as well as tracks from his label-mates Alcoholic Faith Mission, Emanuel and the Fear, Mighty Tiger, and Darla Farmer. All exclusively on SoundCloud. If I were in a band, I’d want my label to do THAT! Seriously great marketing! Everyone knows the b-sides are the BEST sides.

Check out the Peasant tracks below or at SoundCloud, and have a listen to the entire compilation.
