'Nightcrawler' is the third album from New York singer / songwriter Pete Yorn, who returns with a sensational finish to his self-described musical "trilogy".
The follow-up to 2003's 'The Day I Forgot' and 2001's 'Musicforthemorningafter', the album is a rollicking, reflective collection of tunes, which Yorn says was inspired by an interesting mix of Elvis, David Bowie and Tupac.
Produced by a host of industry veterans including Michael Beinhorn (Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Soul Asylum, Hole), Butch Walker (Pink, Avril Lavigne) and Don Fleming, the 14 tracks include the sensational track "For Us" (featuring an awesome drumming accompaniment by the one and only Mr Dave Grohl), plus two tracks "The Man" and "It Don't Mean Nothin" featuring that most outspoken Dixie Chick, Natalie Maines.
"The 12 new tracks on Nightcrawler are more daring and challenging than anything he's done up to now. If you are willing to give Nightcrawler a chance to sink its claws, don't expect to let go."
- Paste (4 stars)
"Pete's Yorn songs sound so damn good"
- Blender
"Yorn and his lazy-day delivery manage to hop between dance pop and lovely synth ballads with surprising ease"
- Entertainment Weekly
"Pete Yorn is at his best when he's at his most ambitious..and reaches for the sky on Nighcrawler. Yorn's ability to inject the mot simple guitar riffs with subtle sonic touches lifts the songs higher than they may have gone in lesser hands. 'Nightcrawler' may have one foot firmly in Pete Yorn's roots rock past, but it manages to take an enjoyable leap forward."
- Associated Press
"Brimming with Nocturnal romanticism and sonic detail and tightly focused songwriting. 'Nightcrawler'.. shows off his Bruuuuce heart in a big way, as both the ballads and rockers hurtle forward with undeniable momentum.
