Death & Frolic by Fellaheen
Melodic alternative rock, rootsy Americana, gritty blues, and downbeat jazz, melded into a fresh, compelling harmonic synthesis that conjures a hypnotic, smoky atmosphere throughout. Honest.

Strange music for strange times ... Fellaheen whips up a lyrical mix of alt rock ’n’ roll, scratchy blues, Americana-rama, & downbeat jazz informed with a murky existential wit, comparable to the likes of Tom Waits, the Velvet Underground, and Kurt Weill. More deeply-rooted influences include Beggar’s Banquet-era Stones, the Beatles, Captain Beefheart, Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen, & Mose Allison.
