Eleni Mandell Is Back

Los Angeles musician Eleni Mandell follows up her highly acclaimed Miracle of Five album with her new release Artificial Fire. All the songs on Artificial Fire were written by Mandell, and arranged, recorded and produced with her longtime band (Drake on guitar, Ryan Feves on bass and Kevin Fitzgerald on drums). Mandell is also part of The Living Sisters, an indie "supergroup" that features Becky Stark (Lavender Diamond) and Inara George (The Bird and the Bee). Artificial Fire guests include DJ Bonebrake (X, The Knitters), fellow Living Sister Inara George, and Silver Lake music scene regulars Jason Borger, Danny T. Levin and Charlie Wadhams. Production duties are by Mandell, Drake, Feves, Fitzgerald and Dave Trumfio. (Phew)!
