Burlap to Cashmere, Brett Leonard | The Other Country | Talks at Google

Burlap to Cashmere has sold over 400,000 records and has toured the US, Canada, Europe, Brazil and even played in Kuwait! In 1998 the band released the critically acclaimed debut album Anybody Out There? After a whirlwind of tours, awards and an ever-growing fan base, they did what no one expected, they disappeared! For more than a decade, a Burlap to Cashmere reunion seemed like wishful thinking. In 2005, tragedy struck when guitarist John Philippidis was beaten and left for dead after a road rage incident near his home in Brooklyn. An extended hospital visit, which included a full month in a coma and radical facial reconstructive surgery, ultimately sparked a band reunion. In 2010 the band headed back into the studio with acclaimed producer Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow, Tom Waits) to begin work on new material. His rules were simple: "There would be no nudging and no Auto-Tuning. We're going into this to capture everything that's organic about the band." Their Greek and Mediterranean influences along with their unique take on 21st Century folk-rock music and exceptional harmonies set this band apart from most.

The inspired, 11-track effort marks a departure from the band's first album. The grandiose textures that emphasized style over substance have been replaced with a more stripped-down sound and focused lyrics, reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel and Cat Stevens. Their blend of Mediterranean rhythms and tight knit harmonies helps them stand out among popular folk-rock acts including Mumford & Sons, Avett Brothers and Fleet Foxes.
