Pete Yorn

Since introducing himself with the song “Strange Condition” on the Farrelly Brothers’ Me, Myself & Irene soundtrack, Pete Yorn has maintained a steady workload. He released a trilogy of albums between 2001 and 2006, and now the even-tempered New Jersey singer-songwriter is touring in support of his recent release, Back and Forth, produced by Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes. After years of playing it safe, it seems that the subdued singer is ready to take some risks, though: In addition to the upcoming September album Break Up, a collaboration with actress/lightning rod Scarlett Johansson, Yorn also has in the can an unreleased album produced by Frank Black of The Pixies.
