Invisible Familiars Clever Devil / Digger's Invitation

"Clever Devil" is the first single off Disturbing Wildlife (due out on Other Music fall 2014), the debut full-length from Invisible Familars, aka Jared Samuel, a New York City-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has long made his living playing music, supporting a variety of NYC artists, and now is stepping out on his own. "Clever Devil" was recorded with producer/musician Michael Leonhart (Yoko Ono, David Byrne, Steely Dan) and is all at once snaky and vivid, with Samuel's acoustic guitar and mysterious, breathy melodies complemented by ear-candy flourishes of buzzing synths, electronics and a guest spot from Stuart Bogie (Antibalas) on saxophone--you'll want to put on your favorite headphones for this one. Non-album B-side "Digger's Invitation" shows the band's more rocking side and was specially recorded for this single with Jared and Invisible Familiars' core members, Robbie Manga on guitar and Tim Kuhl on drums.
