Alright, let me tell you about this wild ride I had with this song “Death Valley High” by Orville Peck, featuring Beck. It’s been a real trip, I gotta say.
So, I heard this song for the first time, and honestly, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Orville Peck, he’s got this whole mysterious cowboy thing going on, and then you add Beck to the mix? It’s like, what is even happening here?
- The first listen, the lyrics about “Dust devils drinking warm Colt 45, take a walk and cruise the strip at night,” really painted a picture. It’s got that Vegas vibe, you know?
- But then, the more I listened, the more I started to pick up on all these different sounds. It’s like Orville Peck just threw everything into this album – jazz, some hip-hop, even a bit of blues.
And Beck? Man, that guy’s always been a bit of a chameleon, right? He fits right in with this eclectic mix. I heard he’s gonna be on this track, “Death Valley High,” and it all made sense.
The song, “Death Valley High,” it’s kind of a weird one. The lyrics are all about Las Vegas, and I guess the kind of wild nights you can have there. I read somewhere that the song’s name is supposed to represent the heat and the adrenaline rush of the city. Makes sense, I guess.
You know how some songs just grow on you? This is one of those. I probably listened to it like 50 times, just trying to figure it out. It’s catchy, but it’s also just…different. And I love it for that reason.
The PeckHeads
I also found out that Orville Peck’s fans call themselves “PeckHeads.” Apparently, he noticed a bunch of different names floating around, but that was the most popular one. Pretty cool, right? It’s always fun when artists and fans have that kind of connection. And I became one of them!
So yeah, that’s my story about “Death Valley High.” It’s a wild song, by a couple of wild artists, and I’m totally here for it. If you haven’t heard it yet, you should definitely check it out. Just be prepared for a bit of a ride! And I tried to follow him on Instagram, I found his account and followed him. But I think he is not very active.
