The Lumineers' film "The Ballad of Cleopatra" examines the true life story of a female taxi driver who imparted her wisdom onto the band. Little did he know that not only would what she told him become the heart of The Lumineers’ album Cleopatra, but it would also birth the visual representation of her story, eventually becoming the masterpiece that is The Ballad of Cleopatra. After the release of their second album Cleopatra (4/8/2016 via Dualtone Records/Dine Alone Records), The Lumineers released music videos for Ophelia, Cleopatra, Sleep on the Floor, and Angela/Patience, all teasing the story line, but never giving the full story, of the taxi driver whom Shultz met and dubbed Cleopatra.
In Cleopatra, The Lumineers set about trying to make musical sense of their three-year-plus roller coaster ride that was their first album. Their skill at setting a visual story to music comes through amidst the delicate, deceptively simple acoustic soundscapes. This time, though, bassist Byron Isaac provides a firm, low-end on the apocalyptic opener Sleep on the Floor, a ghostly tune about getting out of town before the subways flood the bridges break.

Is it etched with something Like a design? Or completely smooth and blank? Also do we know how many were pressed? The metallic version is 2500 copies. This must be equal or less I presume.
Cleopatra is dominated by its characters, especially the women: Angela, Ophelia, and that towering ruler of the title. I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress, Schultz sings. The melody is Billboard-friendly, but the wistful tale of a bitter, aging woman looking back on her life and loves isn’t usually Billboard’s style. I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my lif. hen I die alone I’ll be on time. With 11 tracks and clocking in at a brisk 35 minutes, Cleopatra feels slight
