Riding the train down from the Catskills to New York City’s slam-poetry scene in 1998, a callow “tone-deaf” kid with little musical skills but verse in his heart. Forming a band with his brothers in 2005 and travelling the world. Hitting Number One in the US and UK with one production collaborator (The Lumineers’ Cleopatra, 2016), scoring a Mercury Music Prize nomination (Bat For Lashes’ The Bride, 2016) with another, striding into another side of 2018 with yet another (Peace, the Midlands band whose Kindness Is The New Rock And Roll bursts forth this spring). The first single to be taken released from the record is album opener and title track ‘The Projector’, premiering today on the Line of Best Fit. Spectral, almost skeletal at first, before the man’s resonant voice and spartan guitar are joined by shiversome choral vocals from Bat For Lashes’ Natasha Khan and haunted folktronica from Four Tet. Felice counts London’s genre-surfing experimentalist as both close friend and neighbour. The track is a hallucinatory walk through the backrooms and hallways of modern human paranoia and tech-induced loneliness, as the warped choir sings: ‘All the while you felt so alone/but all the while there were bugs in the phone and you were not alone.’ Listen to ‘The Projector’ HERE. Up in the Catskill Mountains, Simone Felice was thinking. Considering the roads he’d taken, and also the roads that had taken him. “I’ve been down the track,” says The Felice Brother turned solo artist, putting it mildly. It was a lot to take in. And as he considered the prospect of a new album, it was a lot to get out, as well. “So often artists are looking to what they’re doing next, or are stuck in where they are today,” Felice thinks. “Sometimes we forget to honour our history.” “It speaks to my journey,” he begins. Back in the mid-Nineties, cresting out of his teens, he’d read at the Nuyorican Poets Café, a vital scene best exemplified by Saul Williams. “I became a stand-up riddler, reciting my poems from napkins or from memory, it’s how I cut my teeth. For me this was the beginning of understating the diabolical alchemy of the English language, the rhymes, the pictures you can paint, both terrible and fair, or as Patti Smith calls it: “… a string of words more precious than the emeralds of Cortés.” Lights down, curtain up, flickering camera on: this is the world of The Projector. It’s a handcrafted album of lone guitars echoing in the twilight, nocturnal electronics and woodsy vocals in which you can hear and feel the grain. Of scenes and moods, shouts and cries and pleas, interweaving narratives lovingly birthed in Simone’s native woods, (with longtime recording collaborators David Baron, Pete Hanlon and James Felice) not far from the Kaaterskill Creek upon which he himself was born. Our woodsy auteur will be coming down from the mountain this spring, travelling to the UK and Europe, one man and his guitar and his store of stories, for a series of evenings with Simone Felice. This Projector won’t be hitting any multiplexes, but it will be unspooling in a run of bespoke venues – special environments for very special songs where, if you listen carefully, you just might sense something so emotional and true it’s, well, cardiac. “Since my surgery you can hear my heart ticking,” says Felice. He means it literally but, sure, we can take it figuratively, too. “If you’re in the room with me I’m the crocodile who swallowed the pocket watch. For a few years I’d try to dampen the sound when we made recording in the studio. But I’ve given up on that. If you listen closely you’ll hear it when things go quiet. You might mistake it for a metronome that’s off-time. But it’s not. It’s just my achy breaky heart.” Artist Simone Felice Genre Americana / Country Label New York Pro Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 The Projector 2 The Fawn 3 Hustler 4 Your Hands 5 Angel By My Side 6 Same On Any Corner 7 To Be You 8 You Shall Be My Eve 9 They’d Hang Upon My Every Word 10 War Movie Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Simone Felice and more from Americana / Country View Product Quick View Simone Felice All The Bright Coins Americana / Country | Chrysalis | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th January 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simone Felice All The Bright Coins £23.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Chrysalis SKU: BRV34 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Simone Felice Strangers Americana / Country | Team Love | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 24th March 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simone Felice Strangers £17.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Team Love SKU: TL71LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 24th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Simone Felice Simone Felice Americana / Country | Reveal | 1LP, Includes CD Released 13th April 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simone Felice Simone Felice £16.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Reveal SKU: REVEAL007LPX Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 13th April 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hard Working Americans We’re All In This Together Americana / Country | Melvin Records / Thirty Tigers | 2LP Released 4th August 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hard Working Americans We’re All In This Together £22.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Melvin Records / Thirty Tigers SKU: MEL0051 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 4th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frazey Ford (Be Good Tanyas) Obadiah Americana / Country | Nettwerk | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st September 2010 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frazey Ford (Be Good Tanyas) Obadiah £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Nettwerk SKU: 308961 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chatham County Line IV Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st April 2011 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chatham County Line IV £14.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: YEP2157LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st April 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dolly Parton Better Day Americana / Country | Dolly Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd October 2011 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dolly Parton Better Day £26.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Dolly Records SKU: 528216 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Prine John Prine Americana / Country | Rhino | 180g, 1LP Released 11th December 2020 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Prine John Prine £25.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497846597 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th December 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View McGuinn / Hillman McGuinn-Hillman Americana / Country | Capitol | 1LP Released 12th January 2023 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations McGuinn / Hillman McGuinn-Hillman £10.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Capitol SKU: nn256073 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th January 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Sturgill Simpson Sound & Fury Americana / Country | Atlantic | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th September 2019 £18.00 - £20.00 Select options Sturgill Simpson Sound & Fury £18.00 - £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Atlantic Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Vic Chesnutt About To Choke Americana / Country | Plain Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 16th September 2010 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Vic Chesnutt About To Choke £27.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Plain Recordings SKU: PLAIN158LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Drivin' N' Cryin' Too Late To Turn Back Now!
