Fuel/Friends exclusive: Two new songs from Pete Yorn
Pete Yorn nominated Fuel/Friends this weekend as the virtual digs where you can hear and download his two newest songs! Thanks Pete. He must fondly remember the time I essentially trapped him in a parking lot and made him talk to me for 45 minutes. Nicest guy ever.
“Shotgun” is from Pete’s new full length, produced by Mike Mogis and recorded in Omaha. This is fresh from the mastering lab, and feels both darkly brooding and soaring at the same time.
Shotgun – Pete Yorn
…And “Sans Fear” is a highly winsome tune from the Frank Black (Pixies) produced EP, which was recorded in Salem, Oregon.
Sans Fear – Pete Yorn
It’s been all quiet since the Westerns EP and Nightcrawler full-length, both in 2006. Now we have two new Yorn releases slated for 2009 and touring to follow. I feel good again.
Previously: Yorn’s American Blues, Vol. 1
Name: Heather Browne
Sounds really great. Hope the rest of the album follows the same vibe.

Oh my God, I can’t stop listening to “Shotgun.”
Also I wish I could trap Pete into talking to me for 45 minutes. That’s a neat trick! Can you teach me?
And finally, the site looks absolutely fantastic, Heather. Love the graphic, the whole thing is slick! Continued good luck to you.

New tracks are solid. I was just wondering aloud what this guy was up to and this kind of found it’s way to me. Interested in what the rest of the new stuff will sound like.
