#NEWMUSIC: ORVILLE PECK – “DRIFT AWAY” NEW SINGLE
Today, trailblazing country artist Orville Peck releases his epic new single “Drift Away” and announces his highly anticipated forthcoming project, the Appaloosa EP, out November 14 on Warner Records — pre-save HERE. With cinematic flair and sky-scraping vocals, “Drift Away” is an invitation to escape the mundane and a powerful start to a new era. Listen HERE .
“Drift Away” opens on lonesome guitar and Peck’s iconic voice as he paints a vivid picture of small-town ennui in the post-pandemic era: “Watch the kids ridin’ shotgun roads, in ’21 all the movies closed, high and dry they got nowhere else to go.” He captures the restlessness of youth and the quest for belonging, before offering relief on the soaring chorus: “It’s not about gettin’ out, it’s about lettin’ go, don’t ya know? Drift away with me, drift away with me.” The huge hook is cowboy crooner gold, with a little Pixies and Elvis Presley thrown in for good measure.
The new music lands during an incredibly momentous year for Peck. Next month, he’s throwing his 7th Annual Rodeo, running November 14-16 in Pioneertown, CA, at Pappy & Harriet’s, and featuring performances from Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Joy Oladokun, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Allison Russell, and more. Beyond curating the entire experience — which includes nightly afterparties and a drag brunch hosted by Meatball — Peck will play a different set each day, notably headlining on Saturday, November 15. Go HERE for info and tickets.
Peck has also been making massive inroads on stage and screen, having just wrapped filming on the star-studded 2026 Street Fighter movie, in which he plays the masked assassin Vega. Moreover, this summer he made his Broadway debut in a five-month, 128-show run of Cabaret. Peck’s performance as the Emcee drew rave reviews, including from VOGUE who wrote, “He makes an absurdly successful Emcee — with an intuitive command of the line between desire and menace that rivals, if we’re honest, that of Joel Grey and Alan Cumming.” NPR called his portrayal of the role “beautiful and full of longing,” while PLAYBILL gushed, “There’s a certain power in a persona, and few modern musicians have wielded it as effectively as Orville Peck.”
“Drift Away” is notably Peck’s return to solo songcraft. In recent months, he’s teamed up with Noah Cyrus for “Love Is a Canyon,” and Kesha for “Tennessee” also featuring Hudson Mohawke and Tayla Parx. The latter will appear on the album All Things Go: 10 Years, out November 7, with all proceeds benefitting Jack and Rachel Antonoff’s The Ally Coalition.
And last year, of course, Peck dropped his eclectic and acclaimed duets album Stampede, featuring collaborations with Kylie Minogue and Diplo on “Midnight Ride,” Beck on “Death Valley High,” and Willie Nelson for a cover of “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other.” The project pushes the boundaries of country by creating a unique, genre-blurring blend of styles with each artist on the guest list, which also includes Elton John, Teddy Swims, Midland, Margo Price, Molly Tuttle, Cyrus, Rateliff, Russell, and many, many more.
Always riding ahead of the herd, Orville Peck is gearing up to share more bold, heartfelt, and horizon-expanding music. Saddle up for Appaloosa and the Rodeo, both on November 14.

#NEWMUSIC: ORVILLE PECK X KYLIE MINOGUE – “MIDNIGHT RIDE”
Today, groundbreaking country artist Orville Peck unleashes the irresistible new single “Midnight Ride” — a genre-blurring collaboration with global icon Kylie Minogue and superstar DJ/producer Diplo. Listen HERE via Warner Records. The song premiered during Minogue’s headline set at Out Loud Festival at WeHo Pride on June 2, where Peck appeared as a surprise guest.
Serving as the latest single from Peck’s upcoming Stampede album, the track combines country style, pop hooks, and club beats to create a dance floor-ready disco anthem. Throughout his career, Peck has pushed the boundaries of country music — a mission that continues with “Midnight Ride” and its massive crossover appeal.
“Midnight Ride” is Peck’s first new release since Stampede Vol. 1, the first collection of massive duets he has recorded with Willie Nelson, Elton John, Noah Cyrus, Midland, Allison Russell, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Bu Cuaron. Among the tracklist is his cover of “Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other” with Nelson — no doubt a highlight of his Stampede Tour, underway now across North America.
Earlier this week, Peck announced his 6th annual Rodeo, featuring performances from Medium Build, Mickey Guyton, Reyna Roberts, The Nude Party and more, in addition to a headline set from Peck & Tanya Tucker. Hosted by John Waters, the rodeo will take place on August 24 at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater, with a kickoff party at Basement East on August 23 and a closing party at Brooklyn Bowl on August 25.
