Philadelphia, PA – Indie/alternative artist Bright Kelly announces the release of his latest EP, “The Quiet Ones”, set for February 15. With his brooding features and husky voice, Bright Kelly has been compared to The Gaslight Anthem, Bruce Springsteen, John Prine, and Hozier, but his sound is distinctive, rooted in soul and folk traditions. As the frontman of The Great Enough, he has performed with Imagine Dragons, Wallflowers, Atlas Genius, and others, while as a solo artist, he has established himself as one of the indie scene’s most lyrical storytellers.

The Quiet Ones is a minimalist album, recorded with sparse orchestration, that showcases Bright Kelly’s talents as a songwriter. The melancholic “Shake Til the Fever is Gone” and the confessional “I Wish You the Best” deal with themes of loss and grief, while “Apocalypse Driving” is a sardonic take on prepping for the end of the world. Despite the heavy themes, the album is defined by a spark of optimism.

A limited number of signed, special-edition cassettes have been produced and 47 remain at the time of this release. The Quiet Ones is available on all streaming services, and Bright Kelly is encouraging fans to connect with him on social media and to support him through his Patreon and merchandise.

“I’ve seen a lot of talented people fall away, but that’s not a choice I’ve ever been able to make. I live, breathe, sweat, and bleed the songs and stories I create,” says Bright Kelly. “I hope everyone gets something from experiencing my music, but I am mostly looking for real fans.”

The album’s singles, “Shake Til the Fever is Gone” and “Apocalypse Driving”, both have accompanying music videos on Bright Kelly’s YouTube channel.
