Release Notes:

Trailblazing combo Edie Brickell & New Bohemians will release
their first studio recording in nearly 16 years. Stranger
Things, a collection of 13 new songs, produced by the band and
Bryce Goggin, will be available on the venerable Fantasy
Records label on July 25th. Original New Bohemians Brad
Houser, Kenny Withrow, Brandon Aly, and John Bush join
Brickell for the session, along with newly recruited
keyboardist Carter Albrecht.

Edie Brickell and The New Bohemians first stormed onto the
charts with their 1989 debut Shooting Rubberbands at the
Stars.  The hit single, “What I Am,” helped propel the band to
multi-platinum status.  This new recording represents the
honest, unadulterated and utterly charming sound of a
longtime band just being itself, with tracks that include “One
Last Time” and “Oh My Soul.”  Brickell calls this album a,
“true beginning,” the one effort in which she and her original
band-mates perform together as a bonafide group. “It’s as
close to the combo’s live sound as a studio recording can
get,” she says.

Soulful, sometimes downright funky, grooves form the backdrop
for Brickell’s compelling story-songs, engaging miniatures
about lovers interrupting the housework to rekindle their
spark, disco-loving palls figuring out what to do on a
Saturday night after their money’s gone and a pair of young
runaways confronting romantic uncertainty.

Brickell met Bryce Goggin, known mostly for his work with
Herbie Hancock, Trey Anastasio, Evan Dando, and more, just
over 18 months ago. She asked if he would be interested in
working with the New Bohemians. Last April, the band mates
were all in the studio together again. “With Bryce, we were
all in the same room, playing live,” says guitarist Kenny
Withrow. “A lot of the tunes on the record are the
performances we did then and there. At least three or four
are completely live tunes and Edie kept a lot of her
original vocal tracks.”

“We are thrilled that Edie and the New Bohemians decided to
make Fantasy Records their new home,” say Robert Smith,
Senior Vice President of Strategic Marketing for the Concord
Music Group. “There’s a timeless, contemporary quality to
her songs, and the band sound is as fresh and innovative
today as when they first formed.” This is the first new
pop/rock signing for Fantasy Records, home to another notable
singer/songwriter, John Fogerty, in 25 years.

Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians will perform at Central
Park Summerstage in New York City on July 28.  Prior to that,
the band will play a very special show, June 23rd at Club
DaDa in Dallas, one of the venues where they got their start.
This performance will be recorded and filmed.
