SUEDE & ‘LENE

Here’s the thing about SUEDE & ‘LENE: they didn’t plan this. Not really. One minute, Angelo Petraglia—seasoned Nashville songmaker and sonic architect and producer for others (Kings Of Leon, Patty Griffin, Arcy Drive..)—was firing off songs in the worn-in corner of their 100-year-old bungalow. The next, Eulene Sherman—Manhattan-born firestarter, a frontwoman who’s spent her stage time leading bands—was weaving harmonies, basslines and melodies into the mix. It wasn’t a project yet. Just the buzz of two people with too much music in their heads to ignore it.

Their debut record is coming soon. Expect songs that smolder and crackle, equal parts precision and spontaneity. SUEDE & ‘LENE aren’t just making music; they’re building a new language from the pieces of their past lives. And if this is only the beginning, we’re in for one hell of a ride.
