Weaving thoughtful, introspective lyrics with irresistible melodies, Vanessa Peters has been releasing album after album of well-crafted folk/rock
gems for nearly two decades. She has played thousands of shows across
the US and Europe and has opened for artists like Josh Rouse, Nina Persson & James Yorkston, 10,000 Maniacs, John Oates, and Matthew Sweet.
Her last two releases with Idol Records brought widespread critical acclaim
— a 4-star review in MOJO, 8 of 10 stars in Der Spiegel and a feature in
Rolling Stone Germany, and invitations to NPR”s Mountain Stage, 30A,
and AmericanaFest.
While her previous release, ”Modern Age,” was raucous and rowdy,
Peters”s new album, ”Flying on Instruments” is
a heart-rending return to the format that reviewers and fans
have come to expect from Peters.
Co-produced by Grammy-winning producer Joe Reyes, ”Flying
on Instruments” represents a
return to a more pure folk-pop/rock form; the production is stripped-down
and centers largely around the piano. ”For this record we wanted to really
hear the band playing together, especially our amazing pianist Matteo,
who kinda got lost in all the guitars on the last album,” explained Peters.
”We recorded most of these songs live in the room, arranging the songs
together as we went along. Everything feels very direct and honest.”
With ”Flying on Instruments,” Vanessa and her band have once again crafted a beautiful
album that is powerful yet sensitive, brimming with hope and empathy.
