American Blues Vol.1


Pete Yorn recently posted a new song on his MySpaz page. 'American Blues Vol.1' is more somber in content than his previous releases, with Yorn seeming a bit wrary and at odds with the world. Lyricaly it's quite a departure from his usual style. He's been in the studio recently with producer Mike Mogis (of Bright Eyes and Saddle Creek records fame) and Frank Black (of The Pixies). The track is apparantly available for download through the MySpaz page, but it doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment.

'Nighcrawler' was the last release by Yorn in 2006 which was preceded by 'muscforthemorningafter' (2001) and 'Day I Forgot' (2003). The three albums make up a kind of trilogy, that are "more of a diary of sorts; a person gaining new life experiences and simply commenting on them in linear." Hopefully a new album next year, which is rumoured to be called American Blues.

Here's the music video for 'Life On A Chain' from 2001's 'musicforthemorningafter' album:
