Low Key Peacocks Announce Debut Album ‘The Wheels’
Swedish acoustic roots duo Low Key Peacocks will release their debut album ‘The Wheels’ on January 8, 2027, through Storkhill Records
Low Key Peacocks – The Wheels
Format: Digital album
Label: Storkhill Records
Release date: January 8, 2027
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Low Key Peacocks brings together Toni Kotzmut on acoustic guitar and lead vocals and Jesper Wallin on upright bass and backing vocals. Although ‘The Wheels’ marks their debut album as a duo, the two musicians have been playing music together since the mid-2000s.
Their shared musical interests draw on folk, blues and country, with influences ranging from The Band and The Black Crowes to Nick Drake, The Wood Brothers, Tom Waits, Ry Cooder and Lowell George. These references reflect the broad roots music background from which the duo approaches its own material.
For their debut album, Kotzmut and Wallin built the recordings around acoustic guitar and upright bass, capturing the core performances live. Most of the vocals were also recorded live, before additional instruments and arrangements were introduced to expand the original recordings.
The album was mixed and mastered by Joy Deb. The nine-track collection will be released digitally on January 8, 2027, through Storkhill Records as an independent release.
The first single, Dying Blues, is released on November 13, 2026, introducing the album ahead of its January arrival. A second single, Going, is scheduled for December 4, 2026.
Both songs are included on ‘The Wheels’, which marks the first full-length album release from the Stockholm duo.
