Cleopatra by Lumineers
Cleopatra is an album by Lumineers, released in 2016. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 80 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Ophelia”, on 39 lists and voted number one three times.
Cleopatra, the second album from the Lumineers, arrived on Dualtone on April 8, 2016, and it's the sound of the "Ho Hey" band refusing to simply stomp and clap on repeat. Ryan Hadlock produced, and Wesley Schultz, Jeremiah Fraites and cellist-singer Neyla Pekarek trade some of the campfire whoops for dusty, brooding story-songs, heavy on piano, hushed strings and Schultz's worn-in voice.
"Ophelia" is the piano-thumping charmer that carried the record, while the title track, "Angela" and "Sleep on the Floor" followed it out as singles. It debuted at number one in America, Britain and Canada and went platinum at home. It also turned out to be Pekarek's last album with the band; she left in October 2018 to go solo. That's actress Theda Bara on the cover.
