Peter Matthew Bauer, known equally for his solo career as he is his time in The Walken, is back with his first new solo album in five years! “Miracles” is a brand new single from his upcoming full-length, Flowers, dropping September 23rd, 2022. Peter’s beautiful songcraft makes a triumph of his alternated doleful and uplifting delivery on “Miricles” – augmented with swells of brass and layered guitar work. Magical! Check out the single now!
“Miracles” is a big piece of this record and probably the most straightforward, folk style song I’ve ever written. It covers a lot of themes from the record all at once. It’s both looking back at the strangeness of growing up, wandering an old railroad bridge with your friends and then jumping time to the present, wandering around downtown Los Angeles in the pandemic. For me, I guess it’s expressing a lot of the fear and decay of the present time. I finished writing it in December 2021 on Christmas Day.
Also a note:
Miracles features the brass ensemble the Westerlies on the horn arrangement. It was produced and mixed by Peter Matthew Bauer and Matt Barrick.
Flowers will be released in full on September 23 2022 with singles throughout the spring and summer.
