The CDs are scheduled to arrive on Friday, but I can start to take orders for them now and ship them when they come in.
Use the Music Store to order.

And thanks to all the people who have chosen to pay for their download. If the past day and a half is any indication, people are more than willing to set a fair price when they're given the opportunity.

It has been a little over three years since I released "The Spiral Eyes." Today, I'm happy to say the wait for new music is over, because "I Woke With Planets In My Face" can now be downloaded exclusively from my site for whatever price you think it's worth.

There's a slight delay with the CD shipment, so CD orders cannot be taken quite yet, but to make it up to you I'm posting the digital download a day earlier than previously announced.

I want to say thanks to all my fans who have been looking forward to this album for so long. It was a draining, exhaustive, exciting and inspiring process to create the songs on it, and I hope you find it worth the wait.

The next album has already begun.

-Peter

UPDATE: There seems to be a problem with Mac users getting past the password protection on the .zip file. I'm trying to figure it out, but in the meantime just send me an email if you can't get it to work and I'll provide a temp fix.

Announcing the release of "I Woke With Planets In My Face," the second full-length album by acclaimed songwriter Peter Adams, on May 13, 2008.

Over two years in the making and featuring twelve new songs, "I Woke With Planets In My Face" is the followup to 2005's underground hit "The Spiral Eyes." Written, recorded, and produced entirely by himself, Peter continues to build on the imaginary landscapes that made his first album so popular despite a virtual absence of marketing and no record label.

The exciting and rapidly changing music climate of digital distribution has left traditional companies scrambling, but what is a problem for big business is a boon to independent artists. In light of this, and as an extension of the DIY spirit that is inherent in a self-produced album, we are excited to announce three different options for obtaining the album.

1) Digital Download. "I Woke With Planets In My Face" can be downloaded as a package of mp3s, including album art, for whatever price you want. This is not a limited-time-only offer or just an experiment to create buzz, but a permanent form the album will take. "The Spiral Eyes" will also become available as a name-your-price download.
Get the music at www.peteradamsmusic.com beginning May 13, 2008.

2) Traditional CD. "I Woke With Planets In My Face" will be available as a traditional jewel-case CD for only $8.99. The disc can be ordered on CDbaby, peteradamsmusic.com, or purchased at a live show beginning May 13, 2008.

3) The Lunaphonic Omnibox. This package will include the jewel-case CD version "I Woke With Planets In My Face," a stamped limited-edition copy on vinyl with bonus artwork, a booklet with extensive information about each song and the recording process, original lyrics sheets and music, an autographed poster, and an assortment of stickers, buttons, and patches. Production of the Lunaphonic Omnibox will be specially priced and limited to 500, and will be available for purchase three months after the album's launch.

Press release page: http://www.peteradamsmusic.com/pressrelease.html

Pre-orders for the jewel case CD will be available before the street release of May 13.

There are some new additions to the Live Shows page, including an appearance on WOXY on May 2nd (the actual air date may be different, I will update if it is). The Nocturnal Collective will play some songs, and I think there will be an interview as well.

We're going to post a press release here in the next few weeks spelling out the details of the new album, as well as opening the Peter Adams Music Store where you'll be able to order CDs, T-Shirts, and more securely online using PayPal.

From the March issue of Spin:

"With all the drama of an ethereal movie soundtrack, Adams' songs brilliantly merge his classical training (he started playing violin at age three) and the inevitable teen-punk backlash. On his latest, I Woke With Planets In My Face, out this spring, the hyperliterate Adams composes folksy pop tunes solo and translates them into full-band symphonies."

You can read the whole issue online here: http://digital.spin.com/spin/200803/?u1=texterity
I'm near the end along with Wussy, Hi-Tek, Heartless Bastards, and Bad Veins in a profile of Cincinnati music.

I just finished burning a handful of review copies of the album to send out to some media outlets, which means the music is all finished and now it's just a matter of getting the printing underway. Expect a press release on these pages in the next few days!

Welcome to the new and improved peteradamsmusic.com. The release of my new album "I Woke With Planets In My Face" is rapidly approaching, and there are going to be some big changes coming with it. Only about half of the content that will eventually be here is currently up, but over the next 3-4 weeks as things get finished, you'll see more pages appearing. We will be issuing a press release soon detailing the specifics of the new album, and most importantly, how to get it.
