The Felice Brothers
New album from young update New York siblings and their friend (whose name is simply 'Christmas'), who have toured with and been joined on stage by Bright Eyes, and who have been signed to Conor Oberst's Team Love label in the US. With a personalised and wonderfully loose style often compared to legendary outfit The Band, the Felice Brothers are making serious waves in the US and UK at the moment.
Like Gillian Welch, My Morning Jacket, Australia's own CW Stoneking and of course Bob Dylan, these guys take inspiration from older forms of American music and make music that is fresh and contemporary and fully connects with current audiences. Their wonderfully literary songs tells darkly humourous noir-like tales of misfits and outsiders - they could be Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' playful and slightly crazy bastard sons.
