Peter Winnipeg is the moniker for wandering melancholy songs by Paul Tisch.
Throughout the natural births and decays of various bands over the years (Opa Yeti, Puzzle Quest, Accountants), two full length Peter Winnipeg records emerged (A Moment of Garcia in 2016 and Big Death in 2019) as well as a compilation of previously released material (Ego Shreds, 2019).
His third album, Blood Moon was released February 10th 2022. Taking a turn from the sound of his previous releases, Blood Moon leaves the acoustic, rainy woodland inspiration of Marissa Nadler and Jessica Pratt, and wanders forth into the nighttime dreaminess of acts like Women, Protomartyr, and Roy Montgomery. Blood Moon vinyl is available for purchase from Ish Records.
Winniepeg's newest release, Berlin EP I, arrived on January 10th 2025. These three songs, recorded at Famous Gold Watch studios in Berlin and mastered by Harris Newman (Myriam Gendron, Exploded View, Indigo Sparke) are stripped back, minimal, but rich in the depths of their shadows. A Berlin EP II is planned for release later this year.
Winnipeg's music has garnered praise from the likes of SMALL ALBUMS, Crossfader Magazine, and Smile Politely.
Born in Chicago, he moved to Berlin, Germany in 2022 where he currently resides.
