The Felice Brothers – Undress (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Felice Brothers have been making restless, literate Americana out of the Catskills since the mid-2000s, building a devoted following through relentless touring and a catalog that refuses to sit still. *Undress* arrives at a moment when Ian Felice's songwriting feels most exposed, trading the band's rootsier impulses for something quieter and more unsettled, the kind of record that rewards patient listeners willing to lean in close.
Cut live to tape with very little overdubbing, Undress was recorded in the late summer of 2018 in Germantown, New York. Band members Ian Felice, James Felice, Will Lawrence (drums) and Jesske Hume (bass) teamed up with producer Jeremy Backofen to record their most personal and reflective album to date. 'Many of the songs on the new album are motivated by a shift from private to public concerns,' says songwriter Ian Felice. 'It isn't hard to find worthwhile things to write about these days, there are a lot of storms blooming on the horizon and a lot of chaos that permeates our lives. The hard part is finding simple and direct ways to address them.' Undress follows the band's 2016 album Life In The Dark, and finds the group in a very different place three years later. Between personnel changes, families growing and the political landscape, the result is a tighter, more-paired down release. 'Every song is a story,' said James Felice. 'On this album everything was a bit more thoughtful, including the arrangements, the sonic quality and the harmonies.'
