Chico Fellini Kick Off Their Singles Series

Harkening back to the early 1960s, when singles were standard and ruled supreme over the album format, the band will release a new single on the first day of each month over the next year.

Each new Chico Fellini track will also be accompanied by a b-side recording of a selected cover song showcasing the band's far-reaching musical influences. The project will yield 12 new Chico Fellini tracks and a dozen cover song recordings that will be available in both CD and vinyl format at various increments throughout the project.

The band's reasoning for such an approach is twofold�to provide more creative liberty than the standard album approach allows and to enhance the listener's participation in the creative process. In today's musical climate, the shelf life of an album is unfortunately quite short, as the dearth of records released each week naturally pushes far too many worthy efforts out of the spotlight. By focusing on a single new track each month, the band will have the luxury of producing and releasing each composition in near-real time, enhancing the creative process from month to month.

Additionally, this approach gives the listener an ongoing intimate view of the creative twist and turns the band and their material will take throughout the year. Though this project will take a year to materialize in full, the end result will be a more fulfilling, ongoing relationship between artist and listener�albeit one requiring more attention and a longer commitment from both.
