The Noise by Debbie Catalano (Aug. 2012)
“Okay, where has Peter Baldrachi been hiding that I haven’t heard of him? I’m sure he hasn’t been hiding, I just missed him somewhere in this sphere of Boston music but I’m glad to have found him now! Due to circumstances unfortunately beyond my control, I got quite behind in my CD reviews and since this was submitted, I believe he has released another, but this still very much deserves a review. Tomorrow Never Knows features a refreshing blast of commercial pop rock tunes; Peter’s music is upbeat with a perfect blend of a Brit-pop / American alt rock feel with decided dashes of twang. I absolutely adore it. Accessible, catchy, and happy—we all need music with a goodtime spirit and Peter’s got it—not to mention that the production is outstanding. It’s a very rare and special thing to love every track of a CD but I can honestly say with Tomorrow Never Knows that I did. Can’t wait to hear the next!”
ALBUM NOTES:
Tomorrow Never Knows was originally released in September 2011. The record was pulled in early 2012 to be remixed and re-released with a new track order and an additional song “Picture On My Wall” which originally appeared as the B-side to the album’s first single “In The Dead of Night.” The album appeared on several end-of-the-year lists including Power Pop Action’s 100 Favorite Albums of the Year (#5), The Pure Pop Pub’s Top 15 For 2011 (#8), Power Pop Station’s Top 50 Albums (#12), Powerpopaholic’s Top 25 Power Pop Albums of 2011 (#25), and Absolute Power Pop’s Top 75 (#40). Special thanks go to Paul Q. Kolderie for mixing the record, and the folks at Kissy Pig Studios, KRM and Corbin in particular, for their work on the project.
