His unique blend of Americana, blue-eyed soul, and a sprinkle of nostalgia creates a sound that’s both comforting and captivating. Think Counting Crows but with a deeper dive into introspective lyricism.
His latest album, “Those Last Days,” is like a musical time capsule filled with tales of mortality, regret, and the bittersweet beauty of memories.

One of the things we love about this album is the production. A warm, inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a cozy living room is matched by honest, relatable, and sometimes downright poetic lyrics. You can hear the passion and care that went into every note.
For instance, in the track “More Drugs,” Pelletier explores a different side of his sound, taking elements of funk and alt rock. It’s a surprising and refreshing departure from the more traditional Americana sound he’s known for, and yet, it somehow still feels like a natural fit.
Another standout track is “Up To Me,” a catchy and uplifting tune that’s perfect for a sunny day. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we have the power to shape our own destiny.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Pelletier also tackles heavier themes, like the fear of death and the regret of missed opportunities. In “Start Right Here,” he reflects on his past mistakes and the destructive behaviors that have held him back. It’s a raw and vulnerable performance that will leave you feeling deeply moved.
Overall, “Those Last Days” is a beautifully crafted album that will stay with you long after the last note fades. It’s tangible proof of Duncan Pelletier’s talent as a powerful songwriter.
