Leave All The Others Baby And Say I m The Only One In 2001, I had the hots for Pete Yorn in a big way. An all-grown-up big girl crush. I swooned through that summer with musicforthemorningafter on constant repeat. "Strange Condition" still makes the hai ...
If you've heard Music For the Morning After, then I don't need to tell you. Pete Yorn is a great songwriter. He has his ups and downs as an artist, just like anybody else, but he seemed to get back...

Talk about a public advance. In September the new S/T album by Pete Yorn on Vagrant records is coming out. It's back to a older form from the sounds of the new single "Precious Stone". Which if you tweet and follow you can download here for free. I'm interested in this record as a body of work vs. a single but here you go. It's the new promotion model and the way things are going. The question is will the music industry ever be able to track this like a top 40 list for pop or [...]

When Pete Yorn decided he "just wanted to rock out" for his next record, the Los Angeles singer-songwriter made a brilliant choice of producer/co-conspirator: Pixies frontman Frank Black, aka Black Francis. As previously reported , his follow-up to last year's ScarJo duets LP, Break Up, and Rick Rubin-produced solo record, Back and Fourth , features Black's knob-twiddling efforts, and I, for one, was rather curious to hear Yorn's new, alt-rock-inspired approach. Well, the first single, "Precious Stone," dropped last night and though I'll hold out judgement until I hear more than just the opening track, this [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music If Green Day can write a rock opera and bring it to stage, there's no reason to think Black Francis can't. As Slicing Up Eyeballs reports, a stage production based on Francis' 2007 release 'Bluefinger' is set to premiere on Nov. 12 in Houston, Texas via the Catastrophic Theatre . For those unfamiliar, the album is about Dutch musician/artist Herman Brood, who took his own life in 2001, after years battling depression, drugs and [...]
Artist: Pete Yorn Album: Pete Yorn: Release Date: 28 September 2010 Label: Vagrant Producer: Frank Black
Det kan godt være, at den gennemsnitlige danske musiklytter først opdagede ham, da han slog pjalterne sammen med Scarlett Johansson, men Frekvens har været fans af Pete Yorn helt siden hans debut, "Musicforthemorningafter" fra 2001. Nu er Yorn, der skammeligt nok aldrig har spillet i Danmark, klar med et nyt album, der er produceret af ingen ringere end Frank Black. Albummet er indspillet tilbage i 2008, altså før både Pete Yorns sidste soloalbum og "Break Up" udkom, og er indspillet på blot fem dage, hvoraf Yorn var syg de to. Det var Pixies-frontmanden dog ligeglad [...]

El cantautor norteamericano Pete Yorn , conocido entre otras cosas por su trabajo en colaboración con Scarlett Johansson , se encuentra produciendo el que será su sexto álbum de estudio, que llevará por titulo su nombre y que será lanzado en el mes de septiembre. Para producción el hombre cambió a la blonda Johansson por Black Francis. El líder de los Pixies está detrás de este nuevo trabajo (en el rol de productor), que se presume más rockero que los anteriores. Las canciones que compondrán este nuevo [...]

Vagrant Records seems to have a knack for signing ex-major label acts. Syracuse University graduate (and ex-Columbia Recording artist) Pete Yorn is the latest to sign with the independent label. His new self-titled album will get released by Vagrant on September 28. Frank Black (of Pixies fame) produced the album, but perhaps the most intriguing news about the new record is that the cover will be all black (perhaps Yorn is a Spinal Tap or Metallica fan?). Pete Yorn track list: [...]
I'm über stoked about the new release from Pete Yorn . I've been quietly rooting for him to recapture the glory from his debut album that he's been long chasing for quite some time. The Frank Black produced album is set to be released Sept. 28th, just in time for the pending school year. The self-titled album comes off of a successful duets album recorded with the stunning Scarlett Johansson that displayed her sultry vocal talents . The album will be released via Vagrant Records and look for the New Jersey troubadour to [...]

The last time we heard from Pete Yorn , he was making beautiful music with Scarlett Johansson. For his sixth album, he's decided to once again work with someone of note. Where Break Up had the husky sex appeal of Johansson, his forthcoming self-titled album will production work by the husky awesomeness of Pixies frontman Frank Black. The album actually came about rather quickly in the summer of 2008, after Black e-mailed Yorn suggesting they work together. Not one to pass down amazing opportunities, Yorn headed out to Salem, OR for [...]

(Photo source unknown) I haven't kept up much with Pete Yorn's music in the past few years. I was fully behind and into his debut, musicforthemorningafter (so many great songs...I even performed "Strange Condition" at a school concert), but didn't really stay with him past that. I returned to the Yorn fold when he released Nightcrawler which, honestly, only really happened because he did an in-store at a record store just down the street before it was released. I believe the last words I said to him were [...]
