The new album’s producer, Jonathan “JP” Parker (who has worked with Wilco, the Fray, Andrew Bird, the Redwalls & Liz Phair) early on in the process said “the new songs may very well be the best batch of raw songs that I have encountered since Wilco's Summerteeth (period)”. Felsen's first album, Accidental Drowning was released in 2009. Felsen Loves You, an EP on the Ninth Street Opus label, followed in 2010. Felsen has opened for National acts: Camper Van Beethoven, Marcy Playground, One Eskimo, Stone Foxes and Luce. They were honored by the readers of the Deli Magazine and voted band of the month in Nov 2010 and performed at Noise Pop 2011 and have just returned from their first national tour.
