Ryan Adams Teases New Music on Instagram

On Thursday (Nov. 5), Ryan Adams celebrated his 41st birthday, and the next day, he was already back to work in the studio. Lucky for us, he shared a sample of the fruits of his labor, teasing two excerpts of a new song on Instagram. Listen below:

The first is captioned “Don’t Wanna,” which may or may not be a song title. Whether or not this turns up on Adams’ proper follow-up to last year’s self-titled full-length is still up in the air, but while promoting his song-for-song covers album of Taylor Swift’s 1989, Adams told Zane Lowe he had already written a double album of his own original material.

In another Instagram, Adams described the new song as Alice in Chains with "some weird dude (me) crying his feelings w too much chorus/ distortion." And just for fun, here's another picture of Adams and company playing a Sopranos pinball machine:

Adams dropped his full-album cover of Swift’s 1989 in September. A vinyl edition is due out Dec. 18; you can pre-order it at the singer’s Pax-Am Records.
