Orville Peck

He/him
I could see commentary on the affectation being impression-y at times...but saying he can't sing? C'mon now.

Having seen him up close and singing live he is phenomenal. Yes he does adapt a certain twang but it's part of the charm. I feel like sometimes these reviews deliberately try to get a rise out of fans.

Yes, I was a fan prior to seeing him live, but hearing the vocals in person took the stanning to a whole new level. He's an insane performer and the talent is real.

Saying he's not a good singer is irresponsible!
 
He/him
I know I might get crucified but I kind of wonder what he could do with his voice, his songwriting skills and a slight electronic production. I‘d be wet.

As I said before I love him but I'd love a killer remix or a feature on a dance track. I half expected one with Diplo to turn up.
 
Orville Peck is no worse (probably better) a singer than Bruce Springsteen, who I'm almost certain Pitchfork loves (at least his classic work).

Everybody should have stopped taking Pitchfork seriously after the Madame X fiasco. Like, it's fine to give any album a low score since reviewing is subjective but a publication that rigs a bad review has no integrity.

The Bronco review is actually well written until they just have to get in the snarky jab. I hate music journalism snark. It's embarrassingly juvenile.
 
I usually never complain about getting a lot of songs but this is definitely a little overstuffed & somewhat homogenous. It might reveal itself over time but it’s no Pony.
 
Listened to the whole album. Pitchfork needs to lay off the crack. Peck sings powerfully and with dexterity. I was incredibly impressed with his voice. And the album is great too. Not something I'll come back to often because I don't emotionally connect to it and it's slightly gimmicky but the arrangements and melodies are superb ear candy.
