Burlap To Cashmere

Burlap to Cashmere are back.

The folk-rock band that played alongside the '90s' biggest acts, rocked an audience of 3 million (that included the Pope!), and made the whole world rethink what soul-searching music sounds like bowed out in 2001 after years of nonstop touring took their toll. But a decade after their split, the group's core trio — singer/guitarist Steven Delopoulos, guitarist John Philippidis, and drummer Theodore Pagano — have reunited, returning with a beautiful, stripped-down new sound. "We still have the energy, the focus, the drive," says Delopoulos. But as Philippidis explains, their musical tastes have matured: "We went from being beer drinkers to red wine drinkers."

Native New Yorkers Delopoulos and his cousin Philippidis have been playing music together their entire lives, and Burlap to Cashmere were born out of a theater project Delopoulos performed in college. Pagano joined the group shortly after the cousins began gigging in coffee houses in the mid-'90s, and Burlap to Cashmere started to do what they did best — electrify live audiences. The band grew to a seven-piece ensemble and released a live EP, then an album called Anybody Out There on A&M that showcased their unique blend of classic acoustic music, rollicking Greek rhythms, and flourishes of flamenco guitar.

When the record label changed hands, Burlap to Cashmere were nearly a casualty of industry politics. The band kept playing to rapturous audiences, but after six years at the top of their game, they called it quits out of exhaustion. Delopoulos recorded two solo albums and Philippidis carried on with session work, while Pagano worked as an interior designer (he's the guy who made sure Ikea showrooms and Apple stores look so appealing). All three thought about getting the band back together, but it took a traumatic event — Philippidis survived a near-fatal car accident and doctors had to reconstruct his entire face — to kick-start the reunion.

When the cousins played Pagano some of their newer tunes, he was blown away: "It was Burlap again, but without all the '90s grandeur," he says. Jive Records agreed, giving the band a rare second shot. Earlier this year, the trio hit the studio in California with producer Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow) with a few simple rules: "There would be no nudging, no Auto-Tuning, we're going into this for everything that's organic about the band," Philippidis says. The result, the eleven-track self-titled album, will be released on Jive and Provident Records.

"When I got out of the hospital, Steven and I just accidentally stumbled into the song ‘Orchestrated Love Song,’” Philippidis says."It's really circusy, old-school, what we used to do in the band," Delopoulos explains. But under the watchful eye of Froom, Burlap to Cashmere learned restraint. "Mitchell's idea was to approach it in an orchestral way, so we're not playing a drum beat that sounds like Rush. It keeps the drama and strips back the dense instrumentation," says Pagano. The song still boasts rapidly changing time signatures that baffle even the most seasoned session player. But Burlap to Cashmere's ability to make the difficult sound simple has always been part of their magic.

"Divinity shines through dark places," Delopoulos says. "Glancing at that divinity, to me is romantic." "Tonight" — the oldest song on the disc — dates back 10 years. The joyous "Santorini" will transport you to the streets of Greece as Delopoulos sings about the pleasures of his homeland.

The centerpiece of the record is the gorgeous, Simon & Garfunkel-esque "Love Reclaims the Atmosphere." "It's about a dying patient," Delopoulos explains. "I feel like we have an idea of what it's like to die, and we talk about peace and divinity and bliss, but what about the person actually going through that process? In darkness, there's light, and I think a lot of these songs go to those dark places so there can be an eruption of light." It's a heavy topic, but on record, Burlap to Cashmere handle it with a delicate beauty, recalling their primary influences: Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison. In the years between Burlap records, Philippidis became especially infatuated with Paul Simon's One Trick Pony.

"Steven sang this whole record, live," Philippidis says. "There was not room for error. He had to get it or we threw the whole take away." It's that incredible musical skill and the band's gift for mind-blowing live shows that promise to deliver Burlap to Cashmere back to their fans — and introduce them to a ton of new ones.
