FatCat signs Les Shelleys; End of the Road Festival performance announced

21/05/10

FatCat is thrilled to announce the signing of Les Shelleys, a two-piece ensemble featuring current FatCat artist Tom Brosseau and his singing partner Angela Correa (of LA's indiepop band Correatown).

Their debut album together, is a collection of tracks taken from a vast body of recorded works – beautiful, harmony-heavy voice and guitar arrangements of American standards and folk traditionals from various points of the last century. There is an undeniable timelessness to Tom and Angela’s work here – something we have seen before in Tom Brosseau’s FatCat releases under his own name (three full length albums and a handful of singles) – a gracious and praising nod to the frankness and honesty of the great folk songwriters whose work they recount.

Together, they will be performing at the End of the Road festival in Dorset, alongside Modest Mouse, Yo La Tengo, Wilco and others. Click here for more info.

The self-titled debut album will be released by FatCat in August - be sure to keep an eye on the band's myspace page here for the meantime.
