Born in the bleak isolation of the secluded prairie city of Edmonton, Canada, Homeshake 's Peter Sagar worked with friends in a number of local bands be-fore picking up and moving to Montreal in 2011 to begin recording under the Homeshake moniker. Following two self- released cassettes ( The Homeshake Tapes and Dynamic Meditation ) and two acclaimed full lengths ( In The Shower and Midnight Snack ), Sagar cracks a window open with his third album for Sinderlyn - Fresh Air . Started immediately following the recording of Midnight Snack , Fresh Air continues Sagar's exploration of dreamy, downtempo bedroom R&B and draws inspiration from such disparate artists like Sade , The Band , Broadcast , Prince , and Angelo Badalamenti . As the title Fresh Air suggests, Sagar's songs were created to clear his listen - ers' minds of negativity. Full of smokey, laid back love songs and airy productions, Sagar's decidedly stoned sound is a breath of fresh air
