The Peach Tree Rascals are sharing a new EP. The five-song project, “Does a Fish Know it’s Wet?” is available now.

The band explained the theme saying:

“This EP represents our journey from starting out in a shed, completely outside of the industry, to being signed to our first record deal and the pressures we’ve faced after seeing the success of “Mariposa.” We came up with the concept of Does a Fish Know it’s Wet? because sometimes we don’t realize the decisions we make regarding our sound and brand are a result of being influenced by the industry (the metaphorical water) around us, hence not understanding if we are “wet” or not. We really resonate with this ‘fish in a tank’ idea that we portrayed through our cover art because we feel we are being put on display for the whole world to see. We felt the pressure of having to follow up a song like “Mariposa” and wanted to continue on that path and put out music that was equally as uplifting and upbeat as the track that helped us get our feet in the industry.” 

They went on to say, “Through that process, we have learned how to create music that is still authentic to the way we communicate but also attempts to push us into a more ‘commercial’ sound. We’re still working on taking all of the pieces that work and make us PTR, and combining them into the influence that will be our debut album next year.”

Do you prefer music with a more commercial sound?
