Sasha & The Bear have spent the past year refining their approach to heartbreak.
After “Get ‘Em” and “No Fire No Promises”, Peaches arrives as their third preview of a debut album due summer 2026. Released 8 January, it finds the duo working with restraint.
The song opens with minimal synths and sparse percussion. Sasha’s vocal trembles with weariness, staying contained rather than breaking open.
An echo of a voice enters on “In the softest part of me / That never asked why / Your hands knew my shelf life,” and the two begin weaving around each other, filling gaps the other leaves. It creates a hazy, doubled effect that carries the rest of the track.
The peaches function as more than decoration. “Still you left me out to spoil / No note no dent in sight / Sugar turned to oil” ties the fruit’s decay to being discarded without explanation.
The bridge loops one question: “Was it too ripe? Too ready? Too easy to bruise?” It builds tension through repetition alone, especially when followed by “You said it wasn’t me / But I watched you choose.”
The production stays locked in its dreamy register. Synths swell and recede gently, guitar sits low, drums tap without pushing.
The two-voice arrangement maintains the atmospheric drift throughout. By the outro, “you said it wasn’t me” repeats over thinning instrumentation, each repetition sounding less like comfort and more like something you tell yourself until you stop believing it.
