Released last year, Napoleon‘s accomplished debut album ‘Success’ was an emotive collection of spacious mid-tempo rockers and pretty indie folk ballads, expertly crafted at producer Kevin McMahon’s upstate studio, Marcata Recording. But not to be pigeonholed, their more recent releases- such as latest single "Moonlight"- have been tighter, more uptempo numbers. As frontman, Detroit native and former Harlem resident Julian Anderson explains to me, the group shares an ethos that each record should be a grand departure from the last. – The band will headline the indie stage at The Deli’s NYC B.E.A.F. 2013 (Best of Emerging Artist Fest) on June 8 at Spike Hill.
