My friends, we’ve made it. It’s summer, and it’s also time to release a new album, very soon!
This one’s called “Exact Change” – 12 new songs, performed solo and recorded live by my dear friends Alex Rather-Taylor and Miles Wick. “Exact Change” brings us to the end of the Ancient Baby trilogy, with a distilled collection of story songs dealing with a range of American themes: the postal service, making a living in music, dating online, weddings gone wrong and other situations that you might find familiar.
Pre-sales for the whole album went live today on Bandcamp. You can get the album as a digital download or as a CD (with album art designed by Parker Richard), and you’ll get immediate downloads for the two singles that have been released so far : https://peckthetowncrier.bandcamp.com
If you’re in the SF Bay Area, I hope you’ll join us at the **album release party** on Thursday July 6th at Peri’s Tavern in Fairfax. I will start the night with a solo set at 9 PM, playing the new album in entirety. Then, I will be joined by the Sparkling Water Band and special guests for a groovy second set.
Today’s single release, “Truther Babe” is kind of a mischievous rom-com that hopes to mend some divides of our time, as a conspiracy-minded lady begins an online dialog with a New York Times-reading man.
I hope you enjoy this tune, and if the spirit moves you, I hope you’ll share it with some friends who might relate.
Song by song, the new album will hit the big streaming sites over the next 6 months, but for now it feels great to keep it between us.
Thank you, as always, for your ears and your support.
Yours in Music,
Chris Peck
