Felices Get Yonder On New Record

Fantastic news from the Team Love camp this morning, as staff favorites and All Points West standouts The Felice Brothers have announced an April 7th release date for their new LP, Yonder Is The Clock. It follows last year's excellent self-titled record that launched the band out of the Catskills and into the mainstream. We hear that bearded-kingpin and Avett-bud Rick Rubin offered to produce, but the band turned him down. Curious about that title?

Titled with a phrase drawn from the pages of Mark Twain, Yonder Is The Clock is a nod to all of the American ghosts that lend their narrative and characters to the forthcoming release. The Felice Brothers studio was built from the remains of an abandoned chicken coop and it was there over the summer and fall of 2008 that they wrote and recorded this new collection of songs. The record is teaming with tales of love, death, betrayal, baseball, train stations, phantoms, pandemics, jail cells, rolling rivers and frozen winter nights.

Ian, Simone, James, Christmas and Farley are bringing their moonshine rock on the road with them beginning in February with Old Crow Medicine Show. Tour dates and Yonder track list after the jump.
