For Nightcrawler, his first new studio album in three years, rocker Pete Yorn explores, and brings full circle, the day-for-life metaphor (morning-day-night) which began with his RIAA gold-certified debut album, musicforthemorningafter, in 2001 and continued through 2003's Day I Forgot. "This new record is not so much for the night," says Pete, "but for a later period in my life. The perspective I have comes from having lived more and experienced more."
Nightcrawler, which premieres a dozen brand-new songs, is perhaps the most musically complex and fully realized album of Pete's career, a wealth of striking harmonic textures and sophisticated chord shifts framed in a lyric sensibility that's dark and hopeful and knowing and funny all at once. Jason Killingsworth, writing in Paste magazine, said that Nightcrawler is "More daring and challenging than anything Pete Yorn's done up to now."
"The record feels different and it sounds different, but it also feels like a continuation of what I've been doing," Pete offers. "I feel like it's taking more chances creatively as a whole and at the same time it's just music that I want to make."
