FOUR TET)” WATCH “PUPPET (FEAT.FOUR TET)” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO   “I began writing All The Bright Coins in 2019,” says Felice. “It had been several years since I had written anything of my own, as I’d felt called to produce records and write with other artists I love. Then one rainy morning I wrote ‘Puppet,’ a mainly autobiographical tune about the dark, empty, and farcical side of being an underground touring troubadour most of my adult life. Part of me felt as though perhaps this should, and would, be the last Simone Felice song I’d ever put out, ‘Puppet stand, Puppet bow,’ a final curtain call. But then a few months later I wrote ‘Prisoner,’ and then ‘Bare Trees.’ The ‘Heat’ (that’s what myself and a few close friends call it: that sweet, painful, ungovernable whisper) was with me once again…”   All The Bright Coins also includes the strikingly poignant “Year Around The Sun,” available now for streaming and download HERE; an official music video is streaming now via YouTube HERE. In addition, a limited edition 7” vinyl single of “Year Around The Sun” b/w the previously unreleased album track, “No Tomorrows,” is available for purchase now exclusively via Felice’s official webstore HERE.   STREAM/DOWNLOAD “YEAR AROUND THE SUN” WATCH OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO BUY “YEAR AROUND THE SUN” B/W “NO TOMORROWS” 7” VINYL SINGLE   Hailed by the UK’s The Telegraph as “a lyricist to rival Dylan and Cohen,” Felice will introduce the songs of All The Bright Coins and much more with live dates, beginning with “Radio Woodstock Steeple Sessions,” which just announced a new in-person concert on Friday, October 22 after selling out the Saturday, October 23 show.

# # #   Recorded at Sun Mountain Studios in bucolic Boiceville, NY with his longtime friend and collaborator, producer/arranger David Baron, All The Bright Coins sees Simone Felice working both sides of the glass having spent much of the past half-decade earning acclaim as a frontline producer with credits including The Lumineers, Matt Maeson, Bat For Lashes, Connor Oberst, Phoebe Bridgers and many more. Dark and melancholic yet life-affirming and incandescent, the album surveys the remarkable breath and reach of Felice’s artistry, from its intimate, deeply personal songcraft to a visionary sonic approach that features backing from the Felice Brothers, Four Tet’s Kieran Hebde and The Webb Sisters. Having earned worldwide applause as a master storyteller for his work as a solo artist, founding member of The Felice Brothers, and acclaimed poet-memoirist, Felice taps into something heretofore unexplored on finely etched songs such as “Puppet” and “No Tomorrows,” the latter of which sees him revisiting a truly traumatic event from his youth – a cerebral aneurism that saw the 12-year-old Felice declared dead for several minutes on an emergency room table in Kingston NY and left him in intensive care, relearning basic motor skills, for more than two months. The album further includes a quartet of evocative spoken word tracks, hearkening back to Felice’s own early experiences as a slam poet at NYC’s legendary Nuyorican Poets Café in the 90’s. Richly rewarding, literate, and personally redemptive, All The Bright Coins stands as a landmark work in Simone Felice’s already stacked catalogue, a breathtakingly crafted celebration of life, song, and the universal power of words and stories within both.   “We’ve all just been through the most surreal collective trauma of seemingly endless lockdowns, constant fear, confusion, and stress and finally find ourselves moving past it,” says Felice. “Then yes, this really does feel like a rebirth, a new epoch. My only expectation with releasing this album is that it finds its audience, however modest or far-flung, and that those folks who do resonate with it take the same kind of strange medicine from these songs and stories as I’ve taken from the records that have carried me through in good times and bad.”   # # #   SIMONE FELICE ALL THE BRIGHT COINS (Chrysalis Records) Release Date: Friday, January 28, 2022
