In 2006, the then 20-year-old Adam Torres released his idiosyncratic, varied, and beautiful debut album, Nostra Nova. A DIY self-release, the album became a closely-held, sleeper favorite in the close-knit music scene of Athens, OH and over the years grew to a ‘cult classic’-like status. The album has a song on it called Breakneck Jane’s Fifteen Minute Escape, which is one of our favourite ever tracks,
So ten years on from his debut, it is a cause of much excitement to learn that Adam Torres will release his second album “Pearls To Swine” on September 9th, 2016 via Fat Possum Records
The first track from it is High Lonesome, a gorgeously vulnerable and fragile slice of folkish Americana that does more than a good job of whetting the appetite for the full album.
From the upcoming album, “Pearls To Swine”, out 9/9 on Fat Possum Records.
