June Album Release Shows & July US Tour Dates Announced

Peter Matthew Bauer, founding member of seminal New York bands The Walkmen and The Recoys, will be releasing his debut solo album Liberation! on June 24th via Mexican Summer in the US. The album was recorded by Bauer, Christopher Colbert and Quentin Stoltzfus (of Light Heat & Mazarin) in Philadelphia, PA. Pete has made his autobiographical track, "I Was Born In An Ashram," available today exclusively at Esquire.
"... jangly folk rock with hints of '60s psychedelia peppered throughout. It's a satisfying sound for any fan of the Walkmen, without feeling redundant." - Esquire
