4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and dreamy, April 11, 2006

This review is from: Feathers (Audio CD)

Feathers (The second release on Devendra Banhart's gnomonsong label) have a long history of several cdr and vinyl only releases, and two members are also in the stoner band witch with j mascis. Feathers is a completely different beast than Witch though. Where witch focuses on the almighty riff and acid haze days of Pentagram and Black Sabbath. Feathers follows the more subdued psychedelic daze of incredible string band. Now comparisons aside this album is defenitely worth owning. With its own mystery and atmosphere that could have been recorded forty years ago rather than yesterday. Beautiful hushed vocals and light picking mixed with subtle variants on the wyrd folk theme.

I saw Feathers at a show in California and was blown away. I hadnt known them when i saw them but was immedietly drawn into their sound. Rich, dreamy, intricate music and harmonies blended together nearly perfectly. Loved the sitar and other unique instruments. Recommended if you like Incredible String Band, Fairport Convention, and the new psych-folk scene.

i am glad they finally were able to release this album on cd. the vinyl has been a constant visitor to my turntable since it was released last year. at times, the music sounds very familiar. at other times, you forget you are listening to music at all, until the record ends and you are sitting in your underwear, feeling that weird chill coming from the window, you left open when there was still some light left in the sky and the warmth that comes along with it. then i get dressed and have to replay the album to hear what i missed. it is one of those albums that seems to play differently each time it is listened to, but always makes you want to hear more. i truly love this gem. it is quite the experience.
