Pete Yorn – “Precious Stone”
This song, from Pete’s upcoming self-titled record, came from relatively impromptu sessions with Pixies frontman Frank Black. Since his 2001 debutMusicforthemorningafter, Yorn has been creating his own brand of roots-rock, surprising listeners last year with his retro-pop collaboration with Scarlett Johansson. While Pete has described these songs as “more raw” than his usual work, his signature croon and rocking electric guitars still wear his Jersey influences on his sleeve.
