About Petey USA
Petey USA is the project of Chicago musician Peter Martin, who first drew attention with short, dry comedy sketches posted online. The characters and observations in those clips carry over into the songs, which tend to circle small domestic worries, awkward social moments and the general unease of getting through an ordinary week.
Musically the songs lean on clipped, jittery guitar lines, insistent drums and Martin's flat, conversational delivery, closer to new wave and post-punk than to the jokey novelty his video audience might expect. He released the albums Lean Into It and USA on Capitol Records.
