Album Preview ∞ Celebration, Florida

The Felice Brothers will release their new studio album (Celebration, Florida) on May 10 (just like Ben Sollee – busy shopping day for The Duke).

From the press release:
Celebration, Florida casts interweaving scenes of dreamy characters and stories, including: a young girl who crimps her hair and spies her dead father driving down the road (the cinematic, roaring “Fire at the Pageant”); shady degenerates who get lost in a mystery surrounding a car (the clamorous groove and carnival horns of “Honda Civic”); a Wall Street scandal hits a little too close to home (the climactic, thunderous synth/sample/drum machine-laden “Ponzi”); and a late night host recounting his rise to fame for his honeybee while traveling in a private jet (the elegantly melancholic, rickety gait of “Dallas”).

Gotta be intrigued by that description and the cover art!
