Peter Matthew Bauer shares second song off solo debut, playing East Coast record release shows (dates, streams)

Liberation LP

Former Walkmen bassist Peter Matthew Bauer will release his solo debut, Liberation!, on June 24 and a second song from the album has just been shared. Unlike the Petty-ish rocker “Latin American Ficciones,” this new one, “Philadelphia Raga,” is gentler, with brushed drums, acoustic guitar and reverb-soaked vocals. It’s a lovely little song and you can stream it below.

Bauer will be playing a few East Coast shows around the release of Liberation!, including one at Brooklyn’s Rough Trade on June 26. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (5/2) at noon.

Other release week shows include Philadelphia and Washington, DC. Dates are listed, along with streams of both available songs from Liberation!, below…
