April 20 street date. Simone Felice, the singer-songwriter/record-producer from deep in the Catskills, has announced the release of his new album The Projector, released via New York Pro. The Projector is a handcrafted album of lone guitars echoing in the twilight, nocturnal electronics, and woodsy vocals in which you can hear and feel the grain. The Felice Brother gone solo hit Number One in the US and UK with one production collaborator (The Lumineers' Cleopatra in 2016) and scored a Mercury Music Prize nomination (Bat For Lashes' The Bride in 2016). The first single, "The Projector", features choral vocals from Bat For Lashes' Natasha Khan and haunted folktronica from Four Tet.

January 28 street date. Simone Felice has long dedicated his storied life to the arts, and perhaps his brushes with death during childhood as heard in the song "No Tomorrows" have proved an unlikely but powerful source of inspiration. "All The Bright Coins" is his latest, arguably greatest devotion to song and the power of the words within it. Yet, like all artists worth their salt, he claims not to have quite grasped what he's been reaching for. There had been no grand plans to write this new album. Simone was happy with his lot and becoming increasingly more successful as a frontline record producer and songwriter (The Lumineers, Bat For Lashes, Jade Bird, Matt Maeson featuring Lana Del Rey, and indeed, The Felice Brothers) but, he muses, sometimes the lure and pull of penning his own material becomes too strong to resist. "All The Bright Coins" is a richly rewarding and inspired sound that makes a personal connection with the listener. It's built squarely on a bedrock of emotion, utilizing an acoustic guitar, and occasionally a piano to back the distinctive voice.
