“Peasants Revolt is a record that balances deep sorrow — of ecological disaster, of economic oppression, of regular oppression — against a blanket refusal to curl up into a catatonic ball.”
“Peasants Revolt is a wise piece of work, not because it tells you how to live out your life in these desperate times, but because it realises that it might be too late to do that. All you can do, Hogan seems to say, is create something beautiful in the knowledge that it might be your final meaningful act. A detailed American pastoral, Peasants Revolt is certainly a beautiful album. It’s also a powerful one. If everyone embraced authenticity in the way Hogan does, then the world wouldn’t be in nearly so much of a mess.”
“‘A work that turns away from the noteworthy moments of apocalypse, and towards the everyday people who have to live through them.’ Power to those people. Creekbed Carter Hogan forever.”
“If, as Hogan would like us to believe, the album is the final breakdown of society viewed from a hot dog stand, then that seems like a good vantage point... Which is about as good a summing up of the state of the USA in 2026 as you are likely to hear. ”
“Another 2026 album that raises the bar for what we can and should expect from modern protest music... The mood for 2026 is disruption, and CCH is ready at the frontlines with a Molotov Cocktail. We’re here for it.”
“Is there a greater honor than when music manages to make you cry or laugh? Maybe yes - when it manages to do both, as on the second album by the young trans folk singer from Texas, Creekbed Carter Hogan .”
