Sneak Preview: The New Year
by Pete Peterson on March 16, 2012 If you haven’t yet read Matt Conner’s interview with Eric Peters’, you should; it’ll give you a deeper appreciation of how important this recording is to Eric. Eric puts his heart and soul and, more importantly, his pain into his music, and that’s what makes it such a rich experience for the rest of us. For months now, I’ve been lucky enough to hear snippets of Birds of Relocation coming out of Ben Shive’s studio (The Bee Hive) next door, and I can’t wait for the world to hear it. I think it’s Eric’s best work. Read the interview, get the full context of the song you’re about to hear, and then wait anxiously for March 27th when Birds of Relocation takes flight.
Here’s a first listen to one of the tracks. It’s still an early mix, but it’s already fantastic.
“The New Year”
by Eric Peters
from Birds of Relocation.

Hey Eeyore, great lyrics, great voice, great message!
I, like you, hope deeply that this is in fact, ‘The Year.’
Hey Eric, bring your lawmower to my house and lets cut grass, pick up pine cones and play some music……..I’ve got the drum-set and the know-how.
Between your ‘half empty’ and my ‘half full’ we’d make for one full jubbe of Dee-Lish-Ossity!
Great skill my friend!

Happy music, so full of soul. Way to go, EP (known around these parts as my 3 year old son’s “best friend.”)!

The sound of all our voices
Joins up into a great wave
To storm over the noise of chaos
We’re alive!
Breathing music
Showing solid shadows
To be nothing more than vapor

Land of the Living was the tops. Then it got better and better with Scarce and Chrome. I’m sure this will be right up there. Can’t wait to hear.
