The Felice Brothers: Favorite Waitress
Andrew Mueller, Uncut, July 2014
THE FELICE BROTHERS' previous proper album, 2011's Celebration, Florida was by far their least characteristic to date — and, for that reason, arguably their most admirable. Having earned a reputation for robust, stirring, if somewhat orthodox Americana, The Felice Brothers took an abrupt left turn, incorporating electronic and hip-hop influences into a semi-conceptual conceit about a planned community built by the Disney Corporation. As startling diversions went, it wasn't quite comparable to Radiohead unveiling an exciting new banjo-led direction, but it wasn't far off.
