Pete Yorn making a [Come]Back & Fourth

On the store shelves is Pete Yorn’s Back & Fourth album released on June 23. The album is simply a different experience for Yorn’s fans out there, since it threads loosely away from his indie roots. In the album’s first single Don’t Wanna Cry we experience something closely related to pop rock. Compared to what can be expected from Yorn, the fans that follow whom might be considered a Californian-folk rock musician will find something different about this work.

The album may sound like early Coldplay at first look, but deeper we see the influence of Mike Mogis who plays an important part on Yorn’s career. Mogis, who works with the label Saddle Creek Records, has worked with bands such as Bright Eyes and The Faint. Mike’s contribution harmonizes with Pete’s folk-ish style. While what you will perceive from the lyrics is a bit depressing, it will not stop you from enjoying the different missteps that Yorn has had, making the songs as emphatic as possible between the singer and the audience. The harmonies play into a melodic rock in which he sentimentally opens up in bittersweet sadness.

One track that should be paid close attention to is Close, no pun intended, in which we find a romantic tragedy scenario brought to life with expertise in pop-rock harmony. The single Don’t Wanna Cry evokes the Dylan lineage with vocal styling and acoustic guitar play inspired by Bob, and the harmonious background tempo of The Wallflowers. Or if you wish something sunnier, with the track Last Summer we can enjoy something more Californian, like the sunny, yet gloomy Bright Eyes.
