Albums
Here Before [2011]
| Released
by
Bar/None
Records on April 12th, 2011
After a 19 year break, the Feelies are back with Here Before, an album of
all new original material on
Bar/None Records. The album touches on different styles from the Feelies' long history
while adding new grooves and musical ideas to the mix. Electric and
acoustic guitars melt together in archetypal Feelies fashion on songs
like "Nobody Knows" and "Should Be Gone. " Elsewhere
there are slabs of driving garage rock like "When You Know"
and "Time Is Right" and the down-tempo "Bluer Skies,"
and harmonically rich "Later On."
Here Before was recorded at Water Music
in Hoboken, NJ (home to indie kindred spirits Yo La Tengo) and was
produced by Glenn and Bill.
The album
is available digitally as well
as on CD and vinyl with a download card. |

The Good Earth [1986]
The Good Earth
was
rereleased
by
Bar/None
Records (US and Canada)
and Domino
Records (Rest of the World) on September 8th, 2009
The second recording came some six years
later co-produced by Glenn Mercer and Bill Million together with REM's
Peter Buck (a Feelies admirer since his days as a record store
clerk).
The Good Earth was an early release on Coyote Records, the label founded
and run by Steve Fallon, also the original owner of famed Hoboken indie rock mecca, Maxwell's. This album introduced the lineup that continues to
this day.
The rereleased album features deluxe packaging
(CD and vinyl LP) with liner notes by Jim Sullivan. The album has
been remastered by Andreas Meyer at Tangerine
Mastering from the best available sources and it includes the original
10 tracks as well as 3 bonus tracks. As the band considers each album to be a discrete aesthetic
artifact, the bonus material (including demos, b-sides, EP tracks and some new live recordings from the reunited
group) are included on digital download cards.
The album is also available in mp3 at
iTunes, AmazonMP3,
Rhapsody etc.

Crazy Rhythms
[1980]
Crazy Rhythms
was
rereleased
by
Bar/None
Records (US and Canada)
and Domino
Records (Rest of the World) on September 8th, 2009
The reissue coincided with the Feelies’ performance at the All Tomorrow’s Parties
festival where they performed the album in its entirety.
The debut album is a masterwork of
perfectly honed minimalist rock that leaps and darts into the corners of
the listener's consciousness, a true sonic tour de force that Rolling Stone deemed one of the
"100 Best Albums of the 1980s." Fans of the Velvet Underground, Wire and Brian Eno's early solo work
will surely appreciate the "forces at work" (to quote a song
title!) on this masterpiece.
The rereleased album features deluxe packaging
(CD and vinyl LP) with liner notes by Jim DeRogatis. The album has been
remastered by Andreas Meyer at Tangerine
Mastering from the best available sources, and it includes the
original 9 tracks (that is, without the cover of Paint it Black added on
the A&M re-release) as well as 5 bonus tracks. As the band considers each album to be a discrete aesthetic
artifact, the bonus material (including demos, b-sides, EP tracks and some new live recordings from the reunited
group) are included on digital download cards.
The album is also available in mp3 at iTunes, AmazonMP3, Rhapsody
etc.
