Saint Rich
Christian Peslak and Steve Marion have been orbiting each other for nearly 10 years in a surprisingly vibrant local scene in rural Sussex County, New Jersey. Peslak was a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who had completed an album's worth of songs by the time he was 15. It was then Peslak was approached cold by Marion (still in high school himself) -- an enterprising local guitarist who had begun producing and arranging records who had heard Peslak's demos through a friend.
The two struck up a friendship, worked together, and jammed when they could. Three years later Steve had recorded 'Wondervisions' as Delicate Steve, an instrumental record released by David Byrne's Luaka Bop label, that entered the world via a glowing New York Times review. With the vocal appreciation from many of the indie rock world's beloved bands, [Dirty Projectors, Yeasayer, tUnE-yArDs, Built to Spill, Akron/Family, Ra Ra Riot, Fang Island, Zach Hill] and constant touring, the band began their own ascent into the indie-pantheon.
Since then, Peslak has provided the rhythmic guitar bedrock to Marion's wandering melody lines in Delicate Steve. On Beyond The Drone, the debut album from Saint Rich, it's fair to say that Marion has created the bedrock for Peslak's wandering.
