Today we are elated to open up pre-orders for The Peel's amazing new album, In the Ferns !!! The vinyl LP will begin shipping August 29, and the digital album is available for streaming now.

In the Ferns is pressed to 140 gram black vinyl, a very limited edition of 200. We recommend placing your order soon before they're gone.

The Peel are the Ohio-based instrumental trio of Lucy Schwallie (fiddle), Adam Fuller (banjo), and David Colagiovanni (guitar). They explore elements of folk, avant-garde, chamber, and old-time music. The band often works closely with Brian Koscho, who recorded and produced In the Ferns, as well as contributed field recordings to "Na Coillte."

The incomparable North Carolina-based artist and our longtime collaborator Jerstin Crosby did the elegant cover art and design.

From Sun Cru: "The Peel's third release, In the Ferns is a phenomenal work of art that embodies a potent blend of trad folk textures, avant-garde experimentation, and classical techniques. It’s a music that springs from a deep well of inner life, reaching up to unveil hidden shades of the world around us, stirring fresh feelings of water, woods, community, and home. Like a creekside quilt or a festival blanket, In the Ferns is a shifting surface dappled with shadow and sunlight, a place where you can rest your mind awhile, maybe dance a few steps, and enjoy life with those you love."
