The Rainy Season are pretty adamant about the collective and fun nature of their project. The union of three longtime friends and musicians – Jeremiah Hagan, Matthew Augur, and Nick Lowry – the group shares a rather eclectic ethos, exploring the indie and alt-rock landscape with emotive flair and meaningful songwriting. ‘Peachtree’ is the perfect evidence of that. Marking The Rainy Season’s sophomore single, the piece follows up on August’s ‘In This Moment’.
Compared to its predecessor, ‘Peachtree’ is decisively hard-hitting and emo-driven, a sign that, as mentioned, the Floridian band doesn’t limit itself to a precise style of aural formula. Simply, they write the best material they can, and on this occasion, that means pairing heartwarming, nostalgic lyricism with anthemic and rowdy sonic goodness. Boasting a chorus to die for, ‘Peachtree’ feels incredibly epic and melancholic, as The Rainy Season deal with the art of letting go – a feeling listeners will certainly be familiar with.
Delving deeper into the song, the group explains: “It’s a tale of moving on. Being with someone and realising that there is nothing left with them. Growing comfortable and not wanting to move on. Of how it’s sad to let go, because there were so many fond memories, but people get older and grow, and with that growth, things must fall away in order for new life and experiences to enter.” We appreciate the wise, experienced songwriting. This is material drawn from personal experience, the kind of down-to-earth and collected storytelling that only manifests itself during adulthood.
