This album is a mouthful, especially if you\u2019re stoned with a bad case of the munchies. You stomach may still be empty, but after listening to this album you\u2019ll find a different kind of satisfaction. The satisfaction of a good groove. Midnight Snack\u2019s central sound comes from the reverby electric guitar and layered, octave defying vocals. If you\u2019re a fan of the tone of Mac DeMarco\u2019s guitar work, you\u2019ll dig this; Sagar was Mac\u2019s touring guitarist until recently.<\/p>\n<p>Sagar does a lot of manipulation with his own voice, providing strange interludes of talking and delicate, almost goofy perversion of his voice where he throws things up a few octaves. This album has a lot of funk, especially in the guitar rhythms and in the synth. It\u2019s slacker funk that at times sounds more rock, and at others more electronic. Check out Sagar\u2019s first album, 2014 release <em>In The Shower<\/em>, if you find yourself moving to <em>Midnight Snack<\/em>. There are some tracks on the first LP that are undeniably groovy.<\/p>\n<p>Notable tracks: \u201cGive It To Me\u201d was the only single for this album, and it\u2019s damn good. Hard hitting bass notes from the synth, with catchy guitar rhythms. \u201cI Don\u2019t Wanna\u201d is calm and smooth, with airy reverb filled vocals and lots of lush guitar. \u201cHeat\u201d has sweet synth that\u2019s almost out of tune, just dissonant enough to notice but not annoy.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Mac DeMarco, The Growlers, Juan Waters, Alex Calder<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 10 (Give It To Me), 2 (Heat), 4 (I Don&#8217;t Wanna), 6 (Love Is Only A Feeling)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: none<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Kayci Lineberger on 09\/24\/15 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delicious and groovy slacker-esque funk from Peter Sagar&#8217;s project Homeshake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1637,"featured_media":37561,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[3596,3598,2732,1485,3597],"class_list":["post-37560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-homeshake","tag-in-the-shower","tag-kayci-lineberger","tag-mac-demarco","tag-midnight-snack"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/unnamed.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1637"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
