"When four school kids' wish to be truly free of rules is granted... they find themselves reborn as pirates and drunk pigs," Rawson says. "As the song spins yarn about mischievous dogs and roller rink crushes, our heroes venture further into the animated mud as they make their final transformation into great business men, free of regulation and celebrating in True Corporate Greed. This video pairs well with a Capri Sun."

"Plunder" is the second song to debut from Life In The Dark. It, along with the album's first release "Aerosol Ball," are available now as instant grat tracks with any preorder on iTunes,Amazon or in The Felice Brothers store.

The Felice Brothers will perform songs from Life in The Dark on upcoming tour dates supporting Conor Oberst, plus a variety of summer festivals including Brooklyn's Northside Festival and TURF in Toronto. A full US headlining tour will be announced in the coming weeks.

Life In The Dark was recorded in a rented garage-turned-recording-studio on Letterbox Farm, a working farm in New York State's verdant Hudson Valley in Columba County. Life In The Dark is The Felice Brothers' ninth studio album after the 2014 release Favorite Waitress, which American Songwriter hailed as "a remarkably varied and well-paced collection of tunes." The nine new songs on Life In The Dark find lyricist Ian Felice continuing to explore modern life in a complicated and divided America, through a cynical and occasionally heartbroken lens, in the tradition of songwriters like John Prine, Shane MacGowan and Michael Hurley.

The Felice Brothers (Ian: guitars and vocals; James Felice:accordion,keyboards and vocals; Greg Farley: fiddle and Josh Rawson: bass) incorporate their expansive knowledge of American folk music - both its creators and what makes it so compelling and enduring - with other elements of contemporary music - classic rock and blues.
