The Felice Brothers - Yonder is the Clock

The new album from THE FELICE BROTHERS to follow on from their critically acclaimed (4* Mojo, 4*Uncut) album 'The Felice Brothers' on Loose.

Released on Conor Oberst's Team Love label, 'Yonder Is The Clock' is a new collection of songs, written and recorded over the summer and fall of 2008 in their studio built from the remains of an abandoned chicken coop in the wilds of the Catskill Mountains. The Felice Brothers blend folk, Americana, and revivalist roots rock into a uniquely earthy sound, a pack of earth-stained country boys channeling the Woodstock spirit with authenticity and reverence. Theirs is a world of moons and moonshine, mountains and cabins, a place where men get drunk on Jack Daniels and stalk off, guns in hand, to confront their cuckolding wives - a homegrown sound has been working its way through the bloodlines for generations. The Felice Brothers have gone from busking on the NYC subway to the stages of Europe in double quick time. Along the way their distinct brand of songwriting has forged comparisons to Woody Guthrie, The Pogues, The Band and a young Bruce Springsteen - homegrown and gritty Americana, as
if they were hosting a sing-along on their own front porch surrounded by family and friends. 'Yonder Is The Clock' is teaming with tales of love, death, betrayal, baseball, train stations, phantoms, pandemics, jail cells, rolling rivers and frozen winter nights. This is music that hasn't lost sight of the history of the land from which it came, and that quality alone makes The Felice Brothers the next great American band.

"Rowdy, vivid, moving and playful, The Felice Brothers is just glorious." - Uncut
