YESTERDAY’S PUPIL: PART ONE OF NEW ALBUM FOR FREE DOWNLOAD
Today sees the release of the first part of the brand new YESTERDAY’S PUPIL album for Free Download. Three years since the release of his debut album in 2008, Peach van Pletzen (also from Bittereinder, Tumi Molekane, Joseph Clark and Oorlog Frankenstein) is back with music which not only undoubtedly reflects the change and growth in his sound, but also portrays his maturation as producer and artist.
Part 1 is entitled SINGULARITY and features two singles, namely Too Tired To Disco and Goodbye. The album will be released in five different parts with two month intervals between each part – every part for FREE DOWNLOAD. Each individual part will consist of two brand new original tracks accompanied by an artwork for each track as well as the lyrics and artist notes.

“Music is free in one way or another. I would prefer for the people to rather get the music directly from me, the source, in a high quality rather than some shitty torrent download somewhere. It is also important for me to have as many people as possible hear my music. I am releasing it in parts because of the fact that is free instead of giving it all away at once. I have worked long and hard on this album and doing it this way just feels right – I want to give each song it’s worth.”
You can download the first part of the album for free from here.
Part Two will be released in early 2012.
