Blue Cotton Skin in standard jewel case

You'll get both CDs

Found this on the web

Dreamy folk pop that is lyrical, poetic and full. Jessica of Petracovich plays the piano, with some banjo and bells and lots of clicky sounds and shakery things. She hikes hills, raises kids and loves to sing in bars. Petracovich has toured nationally and performed on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic.

We are Wyoming, the follow-up to 2004's well-received debut LP Blue Cotton Skin, found its direction on the road. Touring cross-country behind her debut, Jessica Peters (aka Petracovich) and her husband Ryan, suddenly found themselves knowing nothing more about what the future held than where they were. And where they were, was Wyoming. The result of that singular, hugely open moment is a record of in-betweens: of both them liberating joy of freedom and the frightening vertigo of impermanence.

Rain, train whistles, neighborhood chatter, birds' chirpings, and the sounds of a warmly lived life have seeped into the

airy ether of We are Wyoming.

Jessica Peters takes the name Petracovich from her old-world family name, brought to America by her great-grandfather Abraham Petracovich when he was just eleven. As a child asking what the elder Petracovich was like (deleted stuff), she was told a story that mirrored her own musical fascinations and delicate approach to her work;(deleted stuff) the image of (deleted old) Abraham, decked to the nines in his best suit and cuff links, hair combed back, listening to the New York Opera on the radio with the utmost respect.

About the Artist

Based out of San Francisco, Petracovich is Jessica Peters with an old-world version of her family name. Her great-grandfather came to the US from Russia at the turn of the century, and one of the only things Peters knows of Abraham Petracovich is that he loved to listen to the New York Opera from the radio in the living room. Out of respect for the music, he would always wear his best suit. Many years later, his great-granddaughter would spend many hours of her own in a living room, sitting on the floor and twisting knobs, tinkering and building a sound. The music of today’s Petracovich is a low-fi, dreamy experience of intimate vocals, crafted songs and the introspective production of muffled beats and textures. Her live show is eye-closingly captivating, with Peters on 2 keyboards, a bell-set, laptop and vocals and Heather Houseman usually accompanying on cello. Often compared to Sparklehorse and Aimee Mann, Peters subtly weaves her leanings toward the grainy vibrations of acoustic sounds and the floating textures of electronic ambience. Her debut album took shape when she brought 4 track tapes created with a nord lead, piano and an old effects rack to Tad Wagner, a recordist/songwriter she admired for skillful guitar and other-worldly musical instinct. Here a great studio collaboration began at Buonapasta in Santa Barbara, CA. After a year of slow discoveries and gentle coaxing the album was released in 2003.
