Orville Peck is having a moment. The enigmatic country artist has been making waves in the music industry, and his latest album, Stampede, is proof of his star power. Released just over two weeks ago, the album has already secured a top spot on the Current Country Albums Chart and the Americana/Folk Albums chart, while also cracking the top five on the Overall Vinyl Albums Chart.

It’s a remarkable achievement for the masked singer, who has consistently pushed the boundaries of country music. Stampede is a testament to Peck’s ability to blend traditional country sounds with modern influences. Collaborations with a diverse range of artists, including Elton John, Beck, and Noah Cyrus, have helped to broaden his unique essence and reach new audiences.

But Orville's success extends beyond album sales. His singles "Death Valley High" featuring Beck and "Cowboys Are Frequently Fond of Each Other" with Willie Nelson have also been making waves, with the former topping the add board at Alternative and Triple A radio. Additionally, Peck has earned two People’s Choice Country Award nominations for "The Cover Song of 2024" and "The Crossover Song of 2024."

Adding to the excitement surrounding Stampede, Orville has unveiled a new original track, "Permanently Lonely," exclusively for the IFC film Skincare, starring Elizabeth Banks. This marks a new venture for the country star, whose music typically inhabits a different sonic realm. The song's inclusion in the film, a satirical thriller about the cutthroat world of beauty, suggests an unexpected and intriguing collaboration.

Peck’s Stampede Tour is underway now across North America. See full list of dates here.
