Raw, unpolished, and disarmingly personal, Woe is Me — the debut release from indie-folk newcomer Peter Squires — is a sweet and sincere portrait of a young man recovering from heartbreak.
Recorded in his Brooklyn bedroom, Squires' songs cathartically express lovelorn despair with refreshing humor and self-awareness. Like the best work of Morrissey and Magnetic Fields, Peter Squires keeps things playful while he breaks your heart.
“His indie folk sound is as refreshing as it is intelligent.”
“In a perfect world Peter Squires would replace John Mayer or Jack Johnson on the FM dial.”
“Catchy, fragile and often heartbreaking, newcomer Peter Squires is set to make a ripple in the indie-folk puddle…[Woe is Me is] a great piece of rainy day listening. ItŐs an album that can both brighten your day and bring you down with just a couple chords.”
“Brilliant, isn’t it?! ĘIt’s actually quite poignant…love it to bits!”
“Some of the most charming heartbreak songs I’ve heard.”
“Clumsily-endearing.”
“Woe is Me has a Mountain Goats twang to it and is worth a listen.”
“Try not to be frightened by the large bearded guy with bear ears…”
