VINYL FORMAT. Mo Beauty is the debut solo release from celebrated singer/songwriter Alec Ounsworth, who earned acclaim with his band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. The album was produced by veteran musician/producer and fellow Philadelphian Steve Berlin, who initially suggested a New Orleans setting for recording. Working with some of that city's most storied musicians, including George Porter of The Meters on bass, Ounsworth has crafted a collection of songs that pick up where Clap Your Hands Say Yeah leave off.
Mo Beauty carries on that band's vein of quirky humor, unashamed melody, and sonic experimentation, but with the weight of New Orleans and its history hovering over the recording, Ounsworth has dug deep on songs like "Holy, Holy, Holy Moses (song for New Orleans)," while tracks like "South Philadelphia" groove in a whole new way. Fans of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will love Mo Beauty and Ounsworth's singular voice, while a whole new audience will respond to the bedrock foundation of the new songs.
