From the home office ... Fellaheen’s Latest You Either Get Hands or Get Wings, Slated for January 2014 Release Bandleader/songwriter/producer Bruce Hanson and the extended musical collective Fellaheen have been hard at work putting the finishing touches on the forthcoming full-length album, entitled You Either Get Hands or Get Wings, to be released in January of 2014. The album will offer a variety of moods and modes, building on and expanding upon the bedrock palette of alt-rock, scratchy blues, Americana-rama, downbeat jazz, and the lyrical, literate wit that informed Fellaheen’s previous release, the critically-acclaimed Death & Frolic. That album, released in 2012, won the band a whole new legion of fans and brought with it increased exposure and airplay worldwide for Fellaheen. Initial recording sessions for You Either Get Hands or Get Wings were held at Seaside Lounge Studios, in Brooklyn, NY, with Jon Altschuler handling the engineering duties. Subsequent sessions have been held all over New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, including remote sessions in Ithaca, Sloatsburg, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Ottsville, and Hightstown. The album will feature musicians from the Fellaheen live performance band , including Ben Dumbauld (accordion, percussion, keyboards), David Evan (lead guitar, vocals), Kaveh Haghtalab (drums), and Nick Sullivan (bass, vocals). Also contributing to the recording sessions are a host of musical friends old and new, including Mark Orlandini (drums), Joe Borthwick (bass), Max Maples (drums), Dave Keyes (piano, organ), Marty Cohl (pedal steel, lead guitar), Matt Clauhs (saxophones, horn arrangements), Kismet Henderson (vocals), Chris Loxley (cello, remote session engineering), Jennifer Volmer (viola), JiaJia Xu (violin), Seth Mandel (violin), Nikola Tomic (trumpet), Ethan Zawisza (trombone), and Gabe Millman (remote session engineering). The first video and single from the album, for the song entitled “Pomegranate Heart”, has also been posted on the Fellaheen site for preview. The video was directed and filmed by Dennis Connors of Ashcan Films (dennisconnors), who collaborated with Bruce on its concept and execution, in collaboration with Lisa Gillard (camera), Ed Stevens (camera), and Will Landin (gaffer). Stay tuned for more updates …. and thanks for your support!
