I've been a fan of Cool Calm Pete since his 2005 debut album Lost. However, since then he has not yet released a followup album, instead releasing one-off tracks and guest appearances sparingly.
There once were rumors that he would release an album on Def Jux, but that's probably not going to happen*. However, over the past couple of weeks some CCP material has surfaced from the newly formed Modern Shark Records. The first release from MSR was a label sampler that featured "Millins," a new Junk Science song with a guest appearance from Pete. This week Modern Shark released Over You, A Make Believe Film Arranged by Cool Calm Pete. As far as I can tell from what I've heard so far, there is no music by Pete on this. It's more of a mixed tape.
With this recent barrage** of Cool Calm Pete material, my hopes have been raised that we will get an announcement soon on a new CCP album.
*Who knows for sure? It seemed like Def Jux was done releasing albums, but I received an email today with info on Camu Tao's album, which is being released by Def Jux and Fat Possum Records this summer.
**Yes two new pieces of music count as a barrage from an artist who has probably released less than an album's worth of songs in the past five years.
