PECK the Town Crier is a honest-to-goodness mystery, to me. A genre-hopping artist from San Rafael, Calif., PECK tends toward faux-smooth hip hop, when he's not incorporating bits of boogie-woogie Americana or Beach Boys-esque sunny surf rock or '70s AM gold. I think it would be easy to write off PECK the Town Crier as a perpetrator of insincere hipsterism, but the more I sift through his output, the more convinced I am that PECK is just an honestly enthusiastic fan of all kinds of music. It's as if those obnoxious people who claim to like "all kinds of music" actually did like all kinds of music, and then went out and made music. It'd sound weird, like this stuff does. PECK the Town Crier's willingness to drift dreamily from genre to genre without apology or explanation is what makes him so simultaneously interesting and off-putting.
