Releasing four albums together, The Feelies reformed in 2008 and launched a re-issue project. Packaging each album with a host of rarities, the band's music seemed more in-key with current indie rock than their own era.
Now the group have confirmed details of their first new album in over a decade. Signed to Bar / None Records, the Hoboken mavericks are set to release break their silence with new album 'Here Before'. More than fifteen years on from their previous album, The Feelies don't seem to have aged.
The new album touches on different styles from the Feelies’ long history while adding new grooves and musical ideas to the mix. Garage rocker 'When You Know' is matched by the arch lyricism of 'Bluer Skies' and the lush harmonies of 'Later On'.
Recorded in the Water Music complex in their native Hoboken, The Feelies laid down material for 'Here Before' in their basement. Working in their spare time, the group eventually collected thirteen songs. Working with the classic band line up, The Feelies hooked up with engineer Sean Kelly to complete the new album. 'Here Before' will be released later this Spring, with material available as a download, on CD and on vinyl with a digital download card.
In recent years, they regrouped to open some shows for Sonic Youth and also brought their singularly jittery brand of jangle to ATP NY in 2009.
'Here Before' will be released digitally as well as on CD and vinyl with a download card later this spring.
