Funnel Cloud Town - out on June 6th!
Chillicothe is the new country music project from singer-songwriter Nicholas Altobelli, whose work has garnered critical acclaim, including Kids being named one of the best indie releases of 2020 by American Songwriter and a 2013 review of Without a Home in No Depression calling his music "Pop perfection." Set for release on June 6th via Dalton Records, and inspired by a small Texas town he would pass every year during storm-chasing adventures, Chillicothe represents both a geographical and emotional waypoint in Altobelli’s work.
The debut album, Funnel Cloud Town, leans heavily into the storytelling tradition of country and Americana music, setting it apart from Altobelli’s earlier introspective work. Produced by John Dufilho (The Deathray Davies, Apples in Stereo), the record is rich with collaborative talent, featuring Salim Nourallah (Rhett Miller, Old 97’s) on bass, Leoncarlo Canlas (The Polyphonic Spree) on violin, Kim Herriage on pedal steel, dobro, and electric guitar, Rahim Quazi on piano, and Becky Middleton on backing vocals. The result is a lush tapestry of sound that underpins the poignant narratives at the heart of the album.
