Our 19-song music album,
Songs for the Different
, is available
for download now on iTunes
 
Songs for the Different
is the fifth full album from pop and folk-rock duo Poppermost, and is a 19-song collection of some of the music created since the previous album in 2012.  Over the years, friends and fans have become a part of the Poppermost family, and have earned the affectionate moniker, "the Different."  The enjoyment of keeping them entertained means that Poppermost singles usually get released as soon as they are finished, rather than waiting for a full album of music.  Many of the songs here were written or recorded with “the Different" in mind, and occasionally with their assistance, so Songs for the Different is dedicated to them.  Alongside Poppermost's "retro-flavored" originals on the album, their covers pay homage to Syd Barrett, Cream, Cat Stevens, and Harry Nilsson.

"Bitter Suite"  6:44
    "a. All Is Not Forgiven"
    "b. All Tomorrow's Parties"

A dialogue between apologetic father and bitter, resentful child that ends with a joyous call to celebrate life.  With its pop sensibility and grand orchestral / choral sweep that recalls classic songs like "The Boxer," "Hey Jude," and "Champagne Supernova," this is the magnum opus in the Poppermost catalog... so far.
