Dartmouth, Nova Scotia artist Peach on a Beach, also known as Larry Peach, has released his latest single, “Clock is Ticking,” which serves up a sharp and groovy take on climate change awareness. The song begins with a buzzing, glitchy synth line that’s quickly enveloped by layers of shimmering electronic textures, creating a sense of urgency and immersion. Soon, Larry Peach’s high, raspy voice cuts through with a conversational, cool delivery, packed with attitude, as he addresses environmental issues over a punchy rhythm section. His vocal style feels direct and slightly smug, as if he’s delivering a fun, catchy lecture.
The track gets sweeter when a female voice enters, adding warmth and playful contrast. Her vocal addition complements the groove and lends a bit of whimsy to the serious subject matter, making the song feel like a vibrant lesson crafted for younger audiences—or for anyone seeking a lighthearted approach to a critical topic.
“Clock is Ticking” teases his upcoming sophomore album, All Over the Map, set for 2025, hinting at a fresh blend of modern themes with Peach’s trademark retro charm.
“Clock is Ticking” by Peach on a Beach is a catchy tune and a clever electropop anthem that entertains and enlightens. Listen to it on Spotify. If you are into retro 80s, hip hop, and synthpop, check out his debut single, “Beeping and Bleeping,” too.
