Recorded in just five days with former Pixies leader Frank Black producing, the disc strips Yorn\u2019s songwriting, singing and guitar gifts to their essence. The opener, \u201cPrecious Stone,\u201d sets the tone. Framed by fuzzed-up guitars and a molten bridge, Yorn sounds scruffy and vulnerable on this country-tinged pop rocker. \u201cVelcro Shoes\u201d is a brash, amped-up tune that evokes R.E.M. at their most feisty; \u201cBadman\u201d is a delicious slice of slop-rock that could have come from the Stooges\u2019 songbook; and \u201cThe Chase\u201d is a lo-fi pop-rocker that nods toward Paul Westerberg\u2019s recent work. Changes of pace include \u201cRock Crowd,\u201d a delightful acoustic ditty that\u2019s fitted with a child-like chorus, and a secular hymn titled \u201cWheels\u201d that closes the album on an exceptionally high note. Fans of solid songwriting presented in rough-and-ready form will find much to savor here.\u00a0 \u2013RH<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PETE YORN Pete Yorn [Vagrant] Pete Yorn\u2019s latest proves that off-the-cuff projects can yield superb results.
