Description
It took four years for The Lumineers to follow up their platinum-plus, multi-Grammy-nominated, self-titled debut. Cleopatra proves Schultz and Fraites - along with cellist/vocalist Neyla Pekarek- are neither taking their good fortune for granted, nor sitting back on their laurels. With the help of producer Simone Felice (The Felice Brothers, The Avett Brothers), the man Wesley calls "our shaman," the band ensconced themselves in Clubhouse, a recording studio high atop a hill in rural Rhinebeck, N.Y., not far from Woodstock. The Lumineers then set about trying to make musical sense of their three-year-plus roller coaster ride. Their skill at setting a visual story to music comes through amidst the delicate, deceptively simple acoustic soundscapes. This time, though, bassist Byron Isaac provides a firm, low-end on the apocalyptic opener "Sleep on the Floor," a ghostly tune about getting out of town before the "subways flood [and] the bridges break." It's a densely packed, cinematic song that echoes Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City" and John Steinbeck's East of Eden. Cleopatra also deals with what Wesley terms "the elephant in the room," the band's success and the way it can sometimes put a target on your back. The syncopated piano rolls in "Ophelia" , the organic sound of fingers squeaking on guitar strings in "Angela" and the Faustian bargain described in "My Eyes" consider the perils of getting what you wish for, with everyone knowing your name, and your songs. The band had total artistic freedom in writing and recording the album, so Wesley and Jer pushed the envelope. "We continue to make the kind of records we want to," says Wesley. "We believe in this music. It's a true labor of love. We just want to keep reaching more people with our songs." Given the evidence on The Lumineers' sophomore album Cleopatra, that shouldn't be a problem.

Description

Ten years ago, The Lumineers' Cleopatra marked a bold new chapter for the band, building on the momentum of their platinum-selling debut album with something even more cinematic, intimate, and emotionally resonant, taking the band from a breakthrough folk rock success and firmly cementing them as a global touring force. Released in 2016, the No. 1 album introduced an era defined by enduring anthems like "Ophelia," "Cleopatra," "Angela," and "Sleep on the Floor," pairing sweeping melodies with stories of love, loss, longing, and life on the road.
In celebration of a decade of this critically acclaimed and fan adored album, the extended 10th Anniversary Edition features an entire second disc of 9 b-sides and bonus tracks, 6 for the first time on vinyl, and all new artwork with rare photos, artifacts, and a personal dedication from Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites who look back on 20 years of songwriting partnership and mine the stories of this formative era. A must have for any fan of The Lumineers!
Cleopatra (10th Anniversary Edition) is available on double 180g black vinyl.
