ABOUT THIS ALBUM


Album Notes
"Top 10 to Watch in 2007"
- Magnet, Jan/Feb 2007

"The album's dozen tracks include moments of Radiohead's exquisitely crafted chamber angst, Jeff Magnum's chemically-altered, wide-eyed wonder, Jeff Buckley's angelic introspection and the Flaming Lips' finest flights of orchestral fancy."
- Corey duBrowa, Magnet, Oct/Nov 2006

"Peter Adams' songs are at once cathcy, thoughtful, multi-layered and atmospheric. Did we mention the kid's 22 and did it all himself? Wow..."
- Amplifier, March/April 2006

"Adams has a versatile vocal range, with his tingly falsetto ranking up there with Chris Martin of Coldplay or Matthew Caws of Nada Surf for pure thrill-factor."
- Mike Breen, CityBeat


Sounds like:
Flying through the rain at night, sitting under a burning tree, crawling into a hole in the wall, and waking up underwater.

Recommended for fans of Radiohead, Neutral Milk Hotel, Flaming Lips, and the Beatles.

A note for those who have ordered the album: Listen Harmony can only be heard by rewinding from track 1. Think of it as an optional opening track.

If you buy one Album this year, make this it.
I have been waiting for this CD for a while, and it was well worth it. I can't wait to see what is next, especially since it was recorded in his bedroom studio, and solo on top of that. If you buy one album this year, make it this one.

Rare Find
Once upon a time people waited impatiently for the new Beatles, Pink Floyd, Dylan or other classic recording artist who put out an experince, rather than a 'recording' that sounded like everything else available. This CD is an experience, rather than a me-too product. A well crafted sonic marvel that should sit with every classic recording of the last 100 years.

ned henry

accomplished and mature
This CD caught me by surprise when I ran across a couple of the tracks on www.garageband.com. The Disappeared is so well-crafted and the hooks are just amazing and upon hearing that song, I bought the whole CD and it just gets better and better with repeated listenings!

Oliver

Impressive album, immense potential
Overall, an expremely impressive debut from Peter Adams, especially given that he wrote, recorded, and produced the entire thing on his own.

The music sounds sophisticated, which is an achievement given that the sound is based on the layering of relatively simple harmonic lines. The balance is very nice on most of the songs and I particularly loved Adams' use of dissonance.

I think the next step for Adams is to explore working with more complex rhythms and textures in his music, because I think there's a potential here for something really great.

The only problem with this CD is that I have had a problem getting anything else done in the last few days because I am now hooked on this music. Well done. Tell Jacob I say hi Peter, and congrats on the great work. I'm giving copies of it to people for xmas. -Flanagan

Amazing CD - a must-have - you will get hooked!
I have finally found a CD that I can listen to all the time- at work and play! I am addicted! The music is lite and the lyrics are timeless! Great, Great music! A must have for any music lover! What a pleasure!

Just effortlessly wondeful
Only young, but awfully good, this guy deserves to go far with his wonderful effortless melodies and appealing voice. Could be a Nick Drake for the naughties.

steven brey

the cd was great, one of the best
the songs on this cd are great and entertianing. both good and catchy i listen to it everyday on the way to school. its so bad listen harmeny is a hidden track and the beggining of the first song dargs on to long and it boring but the actaul song is good. other than that great cd.

music and lyrics rich, complex, purposeful… The Spiral Eyes is brilliant.
This album landed in my mailbox the day after Christmas, on a full moon. I watched this moon shine, trailed by a thin streak of white cloud, tailed like a comet, as I motored through the slick snow. It was the day of the tsunami and I was going to see The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. In my turtle-shelled car, I listened to an album written in sheets of sound, its music and lyrics rich, complex, purposeful… The Spiral Eyes is brilliant. Its cover art is gorgeous. Quite simply one of the best albums to come along in a long while…and I am still discovering it. Looking forward to future projects…
