Some bands call themselves folk but offer up few elements besides that of an acoustic guitar. Well meet Horse Feathers, composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Justin Ringle, violinist Nathan Crockett, cellist Catherine Odell, and newly added multi-instrumentalist Sam Cooper, the band's sound is deeply reminscent of Appalachia with Ringle's high, quiet voice aiding to their moving quality. You'd never guess the band was from Portland. The band's gone through several incarnations, most recently from three piece to a quartet and the band's soon to be released album Thistled Spring will mark the first studio recording for all members but Ringle. Horse Feathers has previously released two albums, Words are Dead and House with No Home, and if there lastest album is anything to go off of the new album is bound to be an amazing musical experience.
The band's new album out on Kill Rock Star Thistled Spring is out April 20th. Also currently the band is on tour to promote the album and might be coming to a place by you. Hear what they sound like on track "Curs in the Weed" from there latest release House with No Home:
