LA-based singer-songwriter Peter Salett's new song "Endless Orange Sky" is included on By the People: For the People (A Soundtrack Inspired by the Motion Picture By the People: The Election of Barack Obama). Produced by Edward Norton, the film was released in November 2009 on HBO and it follows Obama and various members of his campaign throughout the two years leading up to November 4, 2008. The 14-song soundtrack features some of the worlds most talented artists, including John Mayer, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow, John Legend and more. Available exclusively at iTunes on January 12, 100% of all proceeds will go to a joint effort between United Way and Enterprise Community Partners to rebuild housing in the Gulf Coast.
This past fall, Salett co-produced the political video satire "Protect Insurance Companies PSA" with MoveOn.org and FunnyOrDie.com, starring Will Ferrell and Jon Hamm, which has been viewed by over three million people online, and was broadcast in its entirety on MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." The piece was widely covered online by many outlets, including The New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, ABC, NPR, Time, and The Huffington Post, and The Nation who praises the video for "driving its point home: in reality, we all lose if we lose the public option."
Salett has also just finished a new solo record, Addicted to Distraction, due out later this year. Recorded in Brooklyn, Nashville, and Los Angeles, Addicted to Distraction is Salett's sixth full-length album. Salett has received critical acclaim throughout his career, with the New Yorker declaring "Salett stands apart because of his voice, a rich and burnished instrument he obviously cultivates as much as he does unforgettable melodies and sharply drawn narratives," and Entertainment Weekly saying "his every yearning and pang feels like your own."
In addition to his solo work, Salett is a regular collaborator on the films of numerous producers and directors, including Judd Apatow and David Wain. He co-wrote three songs for Apatow's Forgetting Sarah Marshall (in which Salett also makes a cameo appearance as a keyboard player). He previously was seen in Apatow's hit Superbad, and has written many songs for the films of director David Wain, including Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer and more.
