another word i have heard a lot in reference to the new record is "vibey," which could mean different things to different people. so, go to my new website and have a listen for yourself. the first five cuts from the album are in the "Jukebox".

Under the Waves, is Pete Droge's fifth solo effort since 1994 and the follow-up to his critically acclaimed Puzzle Tree Records debut Skywatching.

Droge recorded Under the Waves' 11 original songs at his remote recording facility Puzzle Tree Studio on an island near Seattle along with vocalist, long time collaborator and co-writer/producer Elaine Summers and cellist Eyvind Kang. With the exception of the cello, Droge plays every instrument on the album including acoustic and electric guitars, drums, bass, accordion, piano, Hammond organ, tambourine and glockenspiel among others. The album's rich production is evident in such songs as "Under The Waves," and "Give It All Away" while its elegant simplicity is expressed in "Going Whichever Way The Wind Blows."

Pete Droge is one third of the critically acclaimed band The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Shawn Mullins. He co-wrote the opening track, "Blue As You" and the single, "Beautiful Wreck" from Mullins' newly released 9th Ward Pickin' Parlor. Additionally, Droge co-wrote and recorded the title track to the well-received Beautiful Girls and composed scores for movies such as the award winning Tattoo, A Love Story. Furthermore, hes produced several albums including Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard's 2001 solo debut Bayleaf in which Droge and Gossard established a lasting collaborative relationship.

Of Droge's new record Gossard says, "In Under the Waves Pete Droge has transcended his previous work. The wisdom of the songs, words and rhythm feels timeless and at the same time fresh. In both production and arrangement this work feels more universal and urgent. You can sense an awakening to deeper levels of expression and unself-consciousness that feels wonderful. The collaboration of Pete Droge and his long time partner Elaine Summers has really produced something special."




"Hi Res" digital download of the album available HERE for just $7.99

Buy the CD HERE or get it at the iTunes MUSIC STORE.

Hi Pete,
I became an admirer of your musical talents and writing when I saw you on one of your best friend's webpage. (top row on my page...)
I really love the way you formulate your words and your chord progressions;along with the choice of instruments you use in your productions.
I am looking forward to your new projects and the current one with Elaine.
So, you can rightfully assume I am honored you have allowed me to be your friend.

Much Respect,
Joy Miller

I had a long drive home from a gig Saturday night and "Necktie Second"
was my accompaniment. Brilliant!
I have fond memories of seeing you on tour with Tom Petty. Hope all is well.
