Pete Yorn Caretakers

Ah I’m so glad you found me. This here is that long awaited “covers” record I have threatened for so, so long. Seems as good a time as ever. A good time for some new musical distraction. As you know, I’ve never been shy about celebrating my musical influences. I honor them and appreciate the fact that they have helped to inspire the style of music I create as my own. I have chosen to interpret and record this particular collection of songs for various reasons. Whether it was The Pixies “Here Comes Your Man” or The Stone Roses “Ten Storey Love Song”, these songs all have one thing in common….they all stopped me in my tracks upon first discovery, simply because I loved the way they made me FEEL.

Pete Yorn's first record in 3 years. Features the first single "Elizabeth Taylor", the Petty and Springsteen-esque "Ransom"' and "Never Go".

Back in 2009, Hollywood A-lister Scarlett Johansson recruited shaggy songwriter Pete Yorn for Break Up, an album inspired by the duets of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot (we didn’t love it). Johansson went on to explore other musical outlets with supergroups like The Singles and Sugar For Sugar, but it’s to Yorn she returns. The pair have just announced a five-song EP, After. It arrives June 1st via Capitol Records.
